A stolen landscape - Epynt

▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫

A "Welsh speaking community (200 people) was displaced in an action which although publicised in Wales was not generally highlighted elsewhere because of wartime censorship. The community was that around Epynt in mid Wales and the year was 1940.

The area (a vast swathe of land) was commandeered for the war effort and the community although reluctant to go may have thought when the war was over they would be able to return.

It was not to be, however. The land was retained as a military training ground and in one of those unforeseen ironies after Germany the war time adversary of Britain eventually was accepted into NATO at the height of the Cold war their troops also ended up exercising on the land from which Welsh speakers were displaced.

The eviction from Epynt possibly had a greater influence on the Welsh Language than the events at Tryweryn because the creation of the military range had the effect of moving the border of Welsh speaking Wales many miles further west."
