A CEREDIGION writer and historian will launch a book on a famous Welsh pacifist, conscientious objector and peacemaker.

The life of Tywyn minister, George M Ll Davies, will be remembered on Wednesday, 2 March, 100 years to the day the Military Conscription Act came into force.

Born in 1880, George M Ll Davies is best remembered and most revered as a peacemaker but his full life reflected a broader spectrum of interests and activities that place him at the heart of life in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Wales. He was also a non-Conformist minister in Tywyn and became MP for the University of Wales.

A Pilgrim of Peace by Ceredigion author, Jen Llywelyn, is the biography of George M Ll Davies.

This is the first major work on George M. Ll. Davies in English.

‘Pilgrim of Peace’ will be launched at Y Drwm at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth at 6.30pm on Wednesday, the 2 March, 100 years since the Military Conscription Act came into force.

Pilgrim of Peace - A Life of George M Ll Davies by Jen Llywelyn (£9.99, Y Lolfa) is out now.

See next week’s Cambrian News for a full interview with Jen Llywelyn.
