Staff at the Colindale Newspaper Library, the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, the Firing Line Museum in Cardiff, plus the Imperial War Museum also assisted with other enquiries. As far as the images in this splendid volume are concerned, they either came from those individuals listed above or from the Glamorgan CCC Archives.
