Peter Latham (1929-2024). National Service. British Army, Machynlleth

Description

This bilingual account is comprised from interviews given by Lt Col Peter Latham to Hugh Morgan of the West Wales Veterans Archive during the initial Covid lockdown restrictions in 2020.  

Lt Col Latham's long service in the British Army is told from his own perspective where he recounts recollections from his time as one of the very first National Servicemen in 1947 and his story from this period is therefore of particular significance in terms of military history.

Mae'r cyfrif dwyieithog hwn yn cael ei ffurfio o gyfweliadau a roddwyd gan Yr Is-Gol. Peter Latham i Hugh Morgan o Archif y Fyddinwyr Gorllewin Cymru yn ystod cyfyngiadau clo Covid cyntaf yn 2020.

Mae gwasanaeth hir Is-Gol Latham yn y Fyddin Brydeinig yn cael ei adrodd o'i safbwynt ei hun lle mae'n adrodd atgofion o'i gyfnod fel un o'r Gwasanaethwyr Cenedlaethol cyntaf yn 1947 ac mae ei hanes o'r cyfnod hwn felly o bwys arbennig o ran hanes milwrol.
