IN reply to Eddie Legge from Abertillery. Saunder Lewis was a captain in the British Army during the First World War. He experienced the horrors of the trenches at first hand and did not want any more young men suffering the same way.

He also experienced the treatment of the English high command towards the Celtic soldiers and officers.

Pacifism was not only a nationalist view. Conservative Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain did not want war and was blinded by Hitler, as they both feared Communism which murdered the Russian royal family.

It seems all right to have British nationalism rammed down our throats but not Welsh nationalism, even though the British nationalism is more dangerous.
