Cafodd yr S.S. ST DAVID, llong ager â thri thyrbin ei hadeiladu ym 1906 gan John Brown & Co. Ltd., Clydesbank ar gyfer cwmni rheilffordd Great Western. Roedd yn un o bedair llong a adeiladwyd rhwng 1906 a 1908 ar gyfer gwasanaeth newydd GWR o Abergwaun i Rosslare. Cafodd y pedair eu defnyddio fel llongau ysbyty yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, gan gludo milwyr clwyfedig yn ôl o Ffrainc. Adeiladwyd llong arall yn lle’r St David ym 1932, a chafodd ei hailenwi yn Rosslare. Ni pharodd yn hir iawn wedyn, a chafodd ei datgymalu maes o law yng Nghasnewydd ym 1933.

Dear Christine,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales does not hold military records that would supply the details that you are seeking. Surviving military service records that may help you with research into your ancestor are mostly held by The National Archives (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) so you will need to search their online catalogues to see if they have resources relevant to your research.
Yours sincerely,
Jennifer Protheroe-Jones
Principal Curator – Industry
