It is noticeable that many of these pupils came from outside the town, some from as far as Amlwch and Benllech. In those days many of the pupils would have been fee paying. Some of the fallen are recorded as having been killed at Bois Delville ("Devil's Wood) in the Battle of the Somme on the night of 19th-20th July 1916. They would have been members the famous 10th Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers (76th Brigade, 3rd Division), two members of which were awarded the VC for their part in that dreadful night's fighting.
