The Welsh months:
January: Ionawr
February: Chwefror
March: Mawrth
April: Ebrill
May: Mai
June: Mehefin
July: Gorffenaf
August: Awst
September:
October: Hydref
November: Tachwedd
December: Rhagfyr
Is Veterans Day November the 11th? "Dydd y Cadoediad" means Armistice Day in Wales, which is when Europe remembers the fallen of various wars. Theres also Remembrance Sunday (Sul y Coffa) which is the second Sunday in November or theres Dydd y Coffa (Rememberance Day) which is an alternative for Armistice Day (and yes the English use all three as well)

Are those the ancient Welsh names or were they adopted later. I was looking for the Welsh or Brythonic equivalents to the Gaulic names. |

There's more Roman or Latin influence in Welsh/Brythonic than there is in Gallic. Don't know where September went it's Medi |

The day of the dead is usually recognised as Halloween,
Whether you call it that or Samhain or Nos Calan Gaeaf or Gwyl-y-Meirw or whatever.
In ancient times this was when all the dead were remembered not just those who died in battle.
However I too tend to mark Remmbrance sunday.

And I hate the way that the advertisers and the shops are already bombarding us with Christmas stuff before Remembrance Day has passed. Something that I find very offensive. |
