"Mae gennym ni hanes milwrol balch yng Nghymru, ac mae heddiw yn gyfle i ni gofio rhai o frwydrau'r gorffennol sy'n rhan o hanes ein cenedl.  Mae eleni yn nodi canrif ers Brwydr Passchendaele, pan cafodd y bardd Hedd Wyn ei ladd, ynghyd â miloedd o ddynion ifanc eraill.
“We have a proud military history in Wales, and being here today gives us the opportunity to remember some of the anniversaries of previous conflicts in our nation’s history.  This year will mark the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele where amongst thousands of young men, Hedd Wyn our Welsh poet lost his life.
