Hedd Wyn the shepherd
In 1923 a bronze statue of Hedd Wyn as a shepherd was unveiled in the centre of Trawsfynydd by his mother. The inscription is verse which Hedd Wyn wrote in memory of a friend who lost his life in the Trenches: 'Neither his sacrifice nor his dear countenance are forgotten, though the Hun has stained his fist of steel in his blood', (roughly translated from 'Ei aberth ni â heibio - ei wyneb / Annwyl nid â'n ango / Er i'r Almaen ystaenio / Ei dwrn dur yn ei waed o').
