ER COF AM JOHN SUMMERS.

From the below (see Links) one would not know it but John did a lot of propaganda work for the FWA, between John, Cayo and Coslett, the three almost convinced the world that there was a vast Army of National Liberation organising a struggle for Welsh Independence during the sixties. Much of what was written was just that, no more than Propaganda but still very useful propaganda especially when it came to mounting the great Adfywiad Gwladgarol 1967 - 1969 against an English Pretender Prince of Wales. I myself had little to with John and the FWA ''Paper War'' but met him twice, on the one occasion to work a piece of Anti - Investiture Propaganda, the other socially. I found John to be quite a nice fella, and I am very sad to learn of the circumstances of his death. Perhaps we needed have set up a 'Llegn y Cymru' to look after old comrades as John, we are not very good at this sort of thing are we. Dear old Denis Coslett, when he was alive used to make sure that a Patriots Roll Call was kept up to date, and annually read out at Rali Cilmeri. I wonder, if anyone stills bother? don't look in my direction, I have enough to do but I do know of plenty of ''Patriots'' who do bugger all from one end of the year to another, other than turn up at Tafarn Llywelyn and Tafarn Mochyn Ddu annually. Let they look to their conscience.
