*These boys were previously on the roll of Ilford County High School, (ICHS). The Ilford school had shared the Trecynon premises for about one year after ICHS was evacuated to Aberdare during WW2. Most of the boys started to return to Ilford after the 1941 school year, but we can only assume that the families of these boys chose to keep their sons in Aberdare a little longer for some unknown reasons. ICHS had operated independently of their wartime host school, (even though sharing the same building), as did Ilford County High School for Girls, which shared the Plasdraw girls’ school.
