This postcard pictures the obelisk commemorating the death of 5-year-old Tommy Jones in the Brecon Beacons in 1900. It is close to the spot where Tommy’s body was found below the summit of Corn Du after he became lost on the mountain. After the inquest, the jurors started a fund which soon collected enough to build the obelisk. Mae’r cerdyn post hwn yn dangos obelisg sy’n coffáu marwolaeth Tommy Jones, 5 oed, ym Mannau Brycheiniog ym 1900. Mae’n agos at y fan lle daethpwyd o hyd i gorff Tommy, islaw copa Corn Du, ar ôl iddo fynd ar goll ar y mynydd. Ar ôl y cwest, dechreuodd y rheithwyr gronfa a gasglodd ddigon, yn fuan, i adeiladu’r obelisg.
