40 years on and almost 'Last Man Standing' although these days more into 'Guerrilla Remembrancing' than considering Revolt & Rebellion and ''Armed Insurrection'', although in reality I was more PF Political than FWA Military Matters. Truly I never had a Uniform but I recently put one together for sake of this blog posting and not for thinking of going down the road of another 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' ' Rebellion or even setting up an FWA Reenactment Society as similar fo

HHHhhhmmm!!! No! Most definatley not, so SB, MI5 & MI6 et al, relax guys, I really am too old for revisiting in reality all that ''Sixties Stuff''. I suggest you hang on in there, lay back and enjoy by blog postings like every one else, as this year I relate my version of the FWA story. It was not all quite the farce as John Humphries makes out in his book, recently published FREEDOM FIGHTERS (a review to be published in my WELSH PATRIOT blog by Easter I hope?)

The fotos here are dedicated to Cayo and Coslett, especially Coslett who used to really have a go at me for not wearing a FWA Uniform, I preferred my US Navy Reefer Jacket or US Army Combat Jacket on back of which I had stuck the letters RHYDDID I GYMRU. I was inspired to do that from seeing Quebec Patriots sporting sweaters with there on, QUEBEC LIBRE, I was not into this FWA Uniform thing although I designed one for them (see TDofF).
.
In time I would make it clear to Cayo and Coslett that I would not wear a Uniform unless they started to organise 'Y Byddin' properly, they did not and I moved on with Toni Lewis to consider establishing a ''Street Fighting'' Patriotic Front Militia, which we never got around to. Never did though as in time we were all banged up, at least five of us for PF/Cymdeithas Llywelyn/Anti - Investiture Campaigning and not for FWA Activity. Although of course, the authorities had me and quite rightly I guess for the Uniform Design, FWA Organising Literature and not least helping to organise the Abergwesyn Training Camp.

Authorities please note, I am not stock piling Uniforms, though I 
think FWA 'Bottle Green' will become very fashionable this year, have already seen and bought a 'Military Style' Sweater off a market stall. Maybe the Cap could become a fashion item and certainly that White Eagle Bandanna as fashion potential, I silk screened that myself, if you cannot S.S, then maybe S.S Instant Printers could do one for you.

Last but not least, the foto above, it's me off course (the ''Nutter'' go see my Assyrian Rod blog) but in the ''Sixties'' I guess it would have been more up Cayo & Cosletts street, so in their memory, I salute you comrades but from here on in, I think that the PF history has been too much in the shade of the FWA & what became known as the FWA trial really should be described as the PF/FWA Anti - Investiture Conspiracy Trial. Then all who are confused as to why we were arrested, held so long and tried may more come to understand some truths, if not over coming months I will put you straight ok!
