As a youngster my Dad took me to Remembrance Day services but in time he stopped attending and so did I but we continued to wear the poppy. However, after I became a Nationalists I took even less interest and following on my 'Exile' in Eire in early 'Seventies' I came away with tradition of1916 Easter Commemorations and wearing of the Easter Lilly. Thus Cofiwn and the idea of the wearing of an Ivy Leaf was born, though that idea of the Ivy came to me from a play about Parnell.

I became hostile to commemorating 11th November but in recent years I have began to change my mind and will wear a Red Poppy with a Welsh Tri - Colour Ribbon in November as well as an Ivy Leaf in December. Why, whilst I am not supportive of remembering British Army and Soldiers in their Colonial Wars, past and present and am aware of Socialist and Pascifist arguements against what they regard as 'Militarism' and 'Jingoism' no doubt being opposed to the FWA, MAC and Meibion Glyndwr too. I am having it more and more brought home to me that I had close and distant relatives who fought in WW I and II, how can I possibly ignore their sacrifice? Indeed it would be quite hypocritical of me to remember Welsh Volunteers who fought and died in Spain fighting Fascism but not remember young men who fought Nazism and Fascism during WW II, nor fail to remember all civilians that became victims of these wars, here I do not distinquish sides and nationalities. Watching the below, how can I not be impressed by the courage of young men, not least in WWII who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D - Day and fought Hitler's Armies all the way back to Germany. All the FWA stuff, yes! yes! yes! but would I have been as brave as the Soldiers of yesteryear in the bloody fields of Flanders or on the Beaches on D - Day?

There is another reason, as I go around Wales on my History Ground work, I often find myself searching out local War Memorials. In small villages in particular one cannot fail to notice that there were but a few in the countryside (though collectivelly many) who went to serve 'King, Queen and Country' compared to those from the cities but the impact of their deaths, injuries and experiences were as huge. Over a now long period of time we cannot imagine the grief that must have been felt, not least in these small villages as people learnt of the deaths of Fathers, Uncles and Sons. Collectivelly, it must have been enormous and no doubt time has healed many wounds but if there is no remembrance memories will fade and sacrifices forgotten. So I must say bit kind of pathetic to remember the dead of 1282 and medieval Wales and not have a little place in my heart for those youngmen for the most part who left their fields, Quarries and Coalmines to enter an hell of modern warfare being shot to pieces by machine gun bullets or blown to bits by field guns, grenades and mines. Thus photos below are in tribute to such men, not least my Grandfather, wounded twice to survive WW I only to eventually be killed in a Coalmine. Photo below is Merchant Seaman Memorial outside WAG building, with poppies tied to.
