	BBC - North West Wales Arts - Hedd Wyn
		The story of Hedd Wyn was brought to the world's attention by the 1992 Oscar-nominated film of his life.
		Hedd Wyn is my Great Great Uncle and he died in World war one by the German Amry and he was born in 1887 and that was before world war one.
		The purpose of the visit was to see Hedd Wyn's grave, and although I thought it would be a difficult task amongst the 1000 or so white gravestones, his was found with the aid of a bunch of daffodils that had been placed there.

	Hedd Wyn
		Hedd Wyn (in Welsh "white peace"), was the pen-name of Ellis Humphrey Evans, a Merionethshire[?] shepherd-poet of World War I.

	heddwyn
		His bardic name, "Hedd Wyn" (Perfect peace) was awarded at a local poetry festival held at the side of Llyn y Morynion where, it is said, a shaft of sunlight illuminated the face of the young poet.
		Although during the time of agricultural depression he had, like many other farm lads, tried the life of a miner in South Wales, he soon decided that it was not for him and returned to the familiar hills of Merionethshire where he could concentrate on the poetry which was to win him such acclaim.
		Hedd Wyn was one of the 31,000 soldiers who were casualties that day, but it is unclear whether he died before he reached the casualty clearing station at the Chateau, or whether, as indicated in ‘Soldiers died in the Great War’ he died later.

		In Hedd Wyn men are seen praying, and the image of the bible of the soldiers heart shows the protection that religious beliefs provide for the soldiers.
		In Hedd Wyn, the religious image reinforces the constant struggle seen within the soldiers to define themselves as people as opposed to puppets in a war.

		HEDD WYN is another example, as it depicts the life and death of one of Wales' greatest poets.
		Being a Welshman I already knew the story of Hedd Wyn and I was very impressed with how this piece of Welsh history was put to film.
		The sense of loss that this film conveys is very strong and when watching this film and pondering over the life of Hedd Wyn, I can't help thinking that somewhere in the world today many more valuable lives are being lost due to needless conflict.

		The scenes in Hedd Wyn give us a sense of how terrible war was on people.
		Like Hedd Wyn, there were times when the soldiers had a few minutes to think about their situation and escape the terror of battle and express their thoughts.
		His representation of war was similar to Hedd Wyn in that he talks about suffering, doom, mourning, and confusion.

		A month later, on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele, he was mortally wounded, but his poem survived and he was awarded the prize he had always coveted.

		Hedd Wyn was a well known poet, who had won several different competition in his home town.
		Hedd Wyn had strived to win, but failed to achieve this goal, due to an over romanticised theme to his poetry. The plot takes a turn when Hedd Wyn is enlisted to fight in the army during the First World War.
		Either him or his brother was to go, and Hedd Wyn decided it was for the better if he went.

		The 1992 film Hedd Wyn, scripted by poet Alan Llwyd and directed by Paul Turner, is arguably the most successful film ever made in Welsh.
