Roeddwn i’n falch iawn o gael cwrdd â Maer y Langemark-Poelkapelle yn y derbyniad. Dyma’r gymuned yng Ngorllewin Fflandrys lle lladdwyd ein bardd enwog Hedd Wyn ym 1917, ychydig y tu allan i Ieper. Soniodd y Maer wrthyf am gynlluniau i godi cofadail i gofio am gyfraniad ac aberth yr holl filwyr o Gymru a fu’n ymladd ar dir Fflandrys. Roedd clywed am y prosiect hwn yn fraint ac fe addewais y byddwn yn tynnu sylw Aelodau’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol ato cyn gynted â phosibl.
I was delighted, at our reception, to meet the Mayor of the Langemark-Poelkapelle.  This is the municipality of West Flanders where our illustrious poet Hedd Wyn was killed in 1917, just outside Ieper.  The Mayor informed me of plans to build a monument commemorating the contribution and sacrifice of all Welsh soldiers fighting on Flanders soil.  I was moved to hear of this project and promised to draw it to the attention of Members of the National Assembly at the earliest opportunity.
