| Hi Ellis
Are these letters you refer to translated into English. Can you post them on the tread "Zulu war eye witness accounts" ? I understand if they are a work in progress and you are unable to.
May I ask, are you a descendant of Ellis Evans.
Regards Eddie

| Hi Eddie
I'm not related to this individual; however, I have an interest in Welsh-language documents relating to the AZW. I'm still working on translations of this and other letters, but I will post it as and when I can.
Best,
Ellis (Paul) |
