Pont Neath Vaughan Patrol
The nearby rail line and tunnel were the main targets and the A465 Road leading from South Wales to the Midlands.
There was a training area and rifle range situated at the nearby Ystradfellte Reservoir.
Most of the Patrol are colliery workers, suggesting they may have travelled to work to the nearby pits in Glyn Neath as there was no colliery in Pont Neath Vaughan. Even those who lived outside the village had links through family to it. The Patrol are believed to have met in the Angel Hotel (now the Angel Inn) in Pont Neath Vaughan.
