Cofebion rhyfel yr Ysgol Sirol, Llandrindod

llandrindod_county_school_memorial_in_old_locationYn Ysgol Uwchradd Llandrindod mae yna nifer o gofebau rhyfel a oedd yn wreiddiol yn yr Ysgol Sirol. Yr Ysgol Sirol a agorodd ym mis Ionawr 1897 oedd yr ysgol uwchradd gyntaf yn y rhan hon o Sir Faesyfed. Fe’i lleolid yn Ffordd Alexandra ac ailenwyd hi yn ysgol ramadeg yn ddiweddarach. Cafodd ei chofebion rhyfel eu trosglwyddo i'r Ysgol Uwchradd ym 1985.

Mae placiau yn y cyntedd yn coffáu disgyblion yr Ysgol Sirol a fu farw yn y ddau Ryfel Byd. Senotaff yw’r brif gofeb ryfel ar y safle, ac arni mae enwau’r disgyblion a fu farw yn y ddau ryfel. Rhestrir eu manylion isod. Mae'r llun yn dangos y gofeb yn ei hen safle.

Ymunodd rhai o staff yr ysgol â'r lluoedd arfog yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Daeth y Meistr Cynorthwyol, R Michael Morgan MA, yn is-gapten gyda Chyffinwyr De Cymru a chafodd ei anafu ym Mehefin 1918. Ym mis Tachwedd 1916 cytunodd y cyngor sir ar gyflog o £120 y flwyddyn i’w wraig, a oedd yn gwneud gwaith ei gŵr yn yr ysgol yn ei absenoldeb. Roedd ganddi hithau hefyd radd (BA).

Dyfarnwyd y Groes Filwrol i'r Is-gapten Ernest Cecil Amos BSc, o Gyffinwyr De Cymru, am ei ddewrder yn 1918. Roedd wedi cael ei anafu yn ymladd yn Ffrainc ond bu fyw tan 1954. Cafodd ei addysg yn yr Ysgol Sirol ac roedd yn athro gwyddoniaeth yno pan ddechreuodd y rhyfel.
