Mae'r casgliad hefyd yn tynnu sylw at y ffordd y defnyddiwyd y Clwb yn ystod y Rhyfel ar gyfer ymrestru. Ataliodd llawer o glybiau chwaraeon weithgareddau chwaraeon ac felly roedd modd defnyddio’u cyfleusterau yn ystod y Rhyfel.

A sepia photograph of a team of rugby players, arranged in four rows. The top two rows are standing up, the bottom two rows are sitting on seats or on the floor. At the top is some text reading 'Newport Rugby Internationals 1883-1921', and a list of players names at the bottom.
