Rhyll war effort

Like children everywhere in the war years from 1939 to 1045, the students at the local primary school in Rhyll spent one afternoon a week engaged in knitting and making things to be sent overseas for the comfort of Australian soldiers as part of the war effort.
The residents of Rhyll also established a Rhyll Relief Committee, and continued to send food parcels to England long after the war had finished.
Pupils at the Rhyll school who were involved in this effort, some of whom are still with us and have memories of those days, are pictured with their teacher, Ted Phelan, in 1940.
