THOMAS Trevor Sanby

Lieut., Welsh Regt.
Born, April 18th, 1897. Killed in France, April 7th, 1918.
Trevor Sanby Thomas was the 3rd son of the late J. Sanby Thomas, Esq., Bank House, Pontypridd, and Mrs. Thomas, of Woodbury, Battenhall, Worcester.  He entered the School House in September, 1910, in the Lower School, and left after rising rapidly to the Sixth Form in 1913 to enter the Cardiff Docks Branch of the National Provincial Bank. There have been few more steady, vigorous, and loyal members of the School.  His activities were manifold.  Though leaving early he played for the first XI. in cricket, the first XI. at Football, was a member of the School VIII., and rowed in the 2nd IV. in 1913.  He received his commission in the Welsh Regiment in 1915 and went to the front attached to the Manchester Regiment in 1916, where he fell in France ten days before his 21st birthday.  His Commanding Officer writes: “He was for a time in command of D Co., and a most loyal helper there.  We who knew him intimately grieve for him not only as a dear friend, but as a splendid officer.  He was ‘always the same’-cheery, unselfish and loyal.” His loyalty to his School was intense and his visits ever welcome.  Great sympathy will be felt with his family, who have now within a few weeks given two of its members for the great cause.
