Mr David Morgan, Cwm - National Service

Wedd e wedi’i leoli yng Ngwersyll Southwood, Cove ger Farnborough ac ar ôl y 15 wythnos cyntaf, anfonwyd Davey i Long Marsden ger Stratford upon Avon am ddouddeg wythnos arall o hyfforddiant. Cadwai mewn cysylltiad â’i deulu yn y Cwm wrth sgrifennu llythyre bob wythnos.

Ar ôl gorffen yr hyfforddiant, cafodd ei hala nôl i Cove a Weymouth lle nath e joio ei amser yn adeiladu pontydd Pontŵn a dysgu gwaith ‘explosive demolition’.

Yn ystod’i amser i ffwrdd, cyfarfu â lot o bobl o ardal Abergweun, ond neb we’n  neud eu Gwasanaeth Cenedlaethol yr un peth ag e’i hunan.

Unwaith y dâth Gwasanaeth Cenedlaethol i ben, dewisodd Davey aros yn Weymouth am 6 mis arall yn gweithio yn y bragdy lle we nhw’n bragu cwrw, cyn dod gatre i’r Cwm.

Ar ôl gorffen ei Wasanaeth Cenedlaethol, am y pedair blynedd nesaf, wedd e’n gwneud cyrsiau hyfforddi, pythefnos o hyd, pob blynyddyn, fel rhan o’r cynllun ‘milwyr wrth gefn’ Argyfwng Cenedlaethol (reservists) we yn bod, bryd hynny.

Am fwy o wybodaeth am y bois lleol fu’n neud ‘Gwasanaeth Milwrol – gwasgwch fan hyn.

He was stationed at Southwood Camp, Cove near Farnborough and after the initial 15 weeks training was sent to Long Marsden near Stratford upon Avon for a further 12 weeks training. He kept in touch with his family in Lower Town with weekly letters.

On completion of the training, he was transferred back to Cove and Weymouth where he enjoyed his time building Pontoon bridges and learning explosive demolition work.

During his time away he did meet a few Fishguard locals but all were working away and none were actually undertaking their National Service.

Once National Service finished he opted to stay in Weymouth for a further 6 months working in the local brewery before returning home to Lower Town. After completing his National Service he returned for the next four years to undertake annual two week training courses as part of the National Emergency reserve scheme that was in force at that time.
