In 1917, the large Welsh community on Merseyside staged the National Eisteddfod at Birkenhead. The winner of the Chair was Ellis Humphrey Evans (whose bardic name was  Hedd Wynn) who had been killed on 31 July 1917 in France fighting with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The winning chair was draped in black. A collection of the dead poet's work, "Cerddi'r Bugail" (Poems of the Shepherd) was published in 1918
He lived as a shepherd at Yr Ysgwrn farm in Trawsfynydd. He won several local eisteddfod chairs, and very nearly won the chair at the 1916 National Eisteddfod. Reluctantly conscripted into the Army in 1917, he wrote his award-winning poem Yr Arwr (The Hero) whilst in training, completing all the entry details while on service in France. He died on the first day of the Battle of Passchendale.

I remember reading the poems of Wilfred Owen in High school.  Despite being about war, I rather enjoyed them, and I am not a fan of poetry in general. What year was that census entry, please? 

BD

[Manchester Rambler]

The Wilfred Owen entry was from 1901 - sorry, I seem to have missed that off the ref!  He was killed in 1918, just a week before the Armistice, so we'll never know what he might have written otherwise.....
