Today in Welsh history... 22 - 23 October 1916, at Macukovo (now called Evzonoi) in Greece, during the First World War, Hubert William Lewis, from Milford Haven, a private in the 11th Battalion, the Welch Regiment, single-handedly attacked and captured three enemy soldiers and despite being wounded himself, went under heavy shell and rifle fire, to bring a wounded colleague back to safety.

For this action, he was awarded the Victoria Cross and later the Medaille Militaire by France.

Today in Welsh history... 15 October 1584, Saint Richard Gwyn was martyred by being hanged, drawn and quartered for high treason. He was canonised by Pope Paul VI in 1970 as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.

Richard Gwyn was born c. 1537 in Montgomeryshire and studied at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Douai, before returning to Wales as a teacher. He taught at illegal ‘underground’ Catholic schools and was a Bard who wrote both Christian and satirical poetry in the Welsh language.

Richard Gwyn was indicted for high treason in 1583 and despite his defence and objections to the dubious practices of the court, Gwyn was executed by hanging, drawing and quartering, at the Beast Market in Wrexham on 15 October 1584. His last words, in Welsh, were reportedly "Iesu, trugarha wrthyf" ("Jesus, have mercy on me").

Today in Welsh history… 8 October 1945, Rudolf Hess, former Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler, was flown to Nuremberg, ending 3 years of imprisonment at Maindiff Court Military Hospital in Abergavenny.

Hess had made a dramatic night flight to Scotland in 1941, in an attempt to negotiate peace between Britain and Germany. He spent several weeks in the Tower of London (the last man ever to be imprisoned there) and then at ‘Camp Z’ in Aldershot.

On 26 June 1942 he was transferred to Maindiff Court, where he had his own room, was allowed to keep journals, take walks around the grounds and often taken on drives around the local countryside. At the Nuremberg trial he was found guilty, but unlike so many others, he was spared execution and was sentenced to a long and solitary life imprisonment at Spandau Prison in Berlin where he died at the age of 91 under more than mysterious circumstances in 1987.

Today in Welsh history… 27 September 1857, for action on this day, during the Indian Mutiny, at the Siege of Lucknow, bombardier Jacob Thomas from Llanwinio, near Carmarthen of the Bengal Artillery, was awarded the Victoria Cross. His citation reads:

For distinguished gallantry at Lucknow on the 27th September, 1857, in having brought off on his back, under a heavy fire, under circumstances of considerable difficulty, a wounded soldier of the Madras Fusiliers, when the party to which he was attached was returning to the Residency from a sortie, whereby he saved him from falling into the hands of the enemy.

The Siege of Lucknow was the prolonged defence and subsequent evacuation of the Residency (political offices) within the city of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Royal Artillery Museum, Woolwich, England.

Today in Welsh history… 17 September 1880, Fred Godfrey (the pen name of Llewellyn Williams) the WWI songwriter, was born in Swansea.

During WWI he gained a reputation as a writer of war songs. His song "Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty" was recorded in 1916 and quickly became a hit. On 26 January 1917 he was conscripted into the Royal Naval Air Service (he was transferred to the Royal Air Force in 1918). In 1917, while he was away in the RNAS, "Down Texas Way", a song he had written the year before, was published and become a success. He is also credited with writing the lyric for "Bless 'Em All" in 1917.

In November 1940, George Formby's recording of "Bless 'Em All" was released. After WWI, it had become a kind of unofficial anthem of the RAF. The recording was an immediate success. Formby recorded a second version in early 1941, with new lyrics by Godfrey.

Today in Welsh history… 7 September 1402, Henry IV was nearly killed whilst campaigning against Owain Glyndwr in Wales.

Following Owain Glyndwr's victory at The Battle of Bryn Glas on 22nd June,​ Henry IV attempted to regain control in Wales. Crossing into central Wales from Shrewsbury and Hereford Castle, Henry’s forces marched towards the Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida.

In terrible weather and constantly harried by Owain's forces, Henry reached Strata Florida and partially destroyed the abbey, executing monks suspected of pro-Glyndwr loyalties. However, Owain's forces continued to engage in guerilla tactics on the English king’s supply chain. By 7th September, torrential rain was lashing Henry's army, he was reduced to sleeping in his armour and was almost killed by a large tent support when his tent blew away. By September 22nd, it was evident that the campaign had been a military failure for the King and his army, starving and demoralised, was forced to withdraw to Hereford Castle.

Forward from: Mark Collett
When politicians and smug media commentators tell you that "we need migrants to do the jobs that Brits won't do", it's a LIE.
Millions of migrants come to Britain not to work, but to abuse the benefits system - costing the country billions.
