Lives of the First World War

known 25th March 1916

Y DIWEDDAR RICHARD MORGAN neu fel yr adnabyddid of oreu yn Ystradgynlais, 'Dick Morgan y Miners'. Ychydig amser yn ol ymddangosodd hanes am farwolaeth yr anwyl gyfaill uehod yn y Llais. Blin gan bawb, ac yn enwedig ei luosog gyfeillion orfod sylweddoli fod 'Dick' wedi colli ei fywyd ar faes y frwydr yn Ffrainc, Chwefror 21, 1916. Bachgen ieuanc, hoew a glan ydoedd, mwynaidd a thawel ei anian, prydferth ei gymeriad, caredig a thyner o galon, boneddigaidd ei arddull, fel ag i beri i bawb ei edmygu a'i garu. Mab ydoedd i'r diweddar Mr a Mrs John Richard Morgan, Colbren, ac wyr i'r adnabyddus a'r diweddar Hen Richard Morgan y Teiliwr. Claddwyd ei rieni er's rhai blynyddau, gan adael pedwar o blant i frwydro ag amgylchiadau bywyd. Bu 'Dick' yn ymgartrefi gyda Mr Thos. Thomas, y Miners' Arms, Ystradgynlais, am chwe mlynedd, ac ystrid ef fel un o'r plant. Ei eiriau olaf iddynt wrth ymadael wedi bod ar ymweliad cyn gwynebu y gelyn ydoedd 'Goodbye; nid wyf yn creddu caf eich gweled byth mwy'; ar er loes calon gwareddwyd ei ddywed iad. Mae ei ddwy chwaer sef Margaret a Gwen, yn byw yn Colbren, a Willie ei unig frawd wedi ymfudo i'r America; a'r anwyl Dick, weithian, yn 24 oed yn huno yn mhriddellau gwlad estronol. Heddwch i'w lwch. Gwladgarwch fu yn enyn Ei galon bur yn fflam Ymunodd i amddiffyn THE LATE RICHARD MORGAN best known as "Dick Morgan, the Miners". A short while ago, news appeared in the Llais of the death of our dear friend. Everyone is sorry that Dick has lost his life, having fallen in the fields of France on February 21st 1916. As a young lad he was fine and quiet in the way he was, and a wonderful friend, kind and gentle of heart. He was so nice that everybody loved him. He was the son of the late Mr and Mrs T R Morgan of Coelbren, and grandson of the well-known and late Old Richard Morgan the Taylor. His parents were buried many years ago, leaving four children to live their lives. He lived with Thomas Thomas of The Miners Arms, Ystradgynlais and had been living there for six years, and counted as one of their own children. His last words to them were "Goodbye; I don't think I'll ever see you again". His sisters Margaret and Gwen live in Coelbren, but Willie, his only brother, went to America when he was 24. Peace is the dust. translation courtesy of Val Trevallion:
