Troops Arrive in Tonypandy

On 9th December 1910 at 1200hrs.  the 18th. Hussars arrive at Tonypandy.  Part of the myth of the Tonypandy Riots was fostered in the popular press of the 1960's which presented melodramatic accounts about soldiers firing on the miners. There is no evidence to substantiate those claims and relationships between the Cambrian Lodge committee and General Macready became one of acceptable tolerance.
