ollen and had time to enjoy a good wander, discussing which of the great eateries we would use. The venue chosen was excellent owned by a chap who was Italian/Irish/English and he offered us very tasty food. Continue reading

Brwydr Passchendaele
Daeth Trydydd Brwydr Ypres, a elwir yn fwy cyffredin ‘Passchendaele’, ar ôl misoedd o ymladd creulon rhwng fyddin yr Almaen a’r Cynghreiriaid. Roedd y Cyntaf a’r Ail Frwydyr wedi ei dechrau gan yr Almaewyr ond yn y Trydydd oedd y Cynghreiriaid yn ymladd yn ôl. O dan arweiniad Syr Douglas Haig, agorwyd y frwydr gyda morglawdd o tua 3,000 o gynnau a chynnydd ymlaen ar bentref Passchendaele ar 31ain Gorffennaf 1917.
