    The View From Mynydd Sylen is tremendous, all around 360, a very worthy place for a Summer Picnic and possibly an annual rally at a very historical site, no matter if it was place of another 'Welsh Surrender' and after all that's only my oppinion.

    NB: I quote below from above to draw attention to fact that brother and son of Hugh Williams fought in foriegn wars, the one for the English Empire but the other in the Brazilian Navy. It's the latter I find most interesting as it's common enough to see the English, Irish and Scots fight as 'mercenaries' but not so the Welsh other than very occaisionally, though I am coming to consider a number of Welsh fought in Bolivar's British/Irish Legion.

    Sacred to the memory of
    Hugh Peter Marcus who died on the 30th day of July, 1862, aged 6 weeks
    and Hugh Peter Dafydd who died on the 2nd day of June, 1863, aged 4 weeks
    Also of William Williams (brother of Hugh Williams)
    A Lieutenant in the Brazilian Navy
    who died on the 11th day of February, 1832, aged 37 years,
    [North side].
    Sacred to the memory of
    Hugh Williams
    Late of Cobden Villa, Ferryside,
    who died on the 19th day of October, 1874
    Also in loving memory of William Arthur Glanmor Williams, D.S.O., Lieutenant
    2nd Battalion S. W. Borderers, youngest son of the above Hugh Williams who fell in
    Action at Bothaville Oro, South Africa, born Sept. 19th, 1873, died Nov. 8th, 1900.
