Colin Woods Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi all I have just submitted two posters from the first war - in Welsh. Does anyone here speak Welsh and can translate? I know Cymru is Wales, after that I am lost. Thanks Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 According to Google Translate: The first one: to the walia boys army. A man hates not an enemy of his country The second one: You must Every Man Worth It Enlist until the end of the war Hope that is somehow helpful. I'm sure someone will come along who knows the actual as opposed to literal translation. Jill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Lowe Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Not much help but I know Gwalia is an archaic Welsh name for Wales. Edited March 23, 2021 by Vincent Lowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon E Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I can't guarantee the translations but my limited knowledge and google translate suggest these from the Imperial War Museum are pretty accurate. To the Army, men of Gwalia! Hateful the man who hates not the enemy of his country. Wales for ever! https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/27867 All able-bodied men required. Enlist until the war's end. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/28391 Edited March 27, 2021 by Simon E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
