Edward was born on the family farm, Hafodymeirch, Tabor, Brithdir near Dolgellau, where he lived with his family.

Sadly, very little seems to be recorded of Edward, in life or in death.

He enlisted in the Welsh Guards and was with The Guards in France when he became ill. He died in hospital some days later on 11 September 1916.

He is buried in Allonville Communal Cemetery and is commemorated on the War Memorial in Dolgellau.

We will remember him.
