In the [[World War I|First World War]] the community raised funds for a "Radyr bed" at the nearby Welsh Metropolitan Military Hospital in [[Whitchurch, Cardiff|Whitchurch]] and established a "Citizen Guard" made up of those too old or too young to enlist.<ref name=TC&G/> Losses suffered by the village are recorded on the War Memorial in Heol Isaf.

In the [[World War II|Second World War]] thousands of children were evacuated from metropolitan areas such as [[London]], [[Birmingham]] and [[Liverpool]]. One evacuee from [[Woolwich]], Patricia Armstrong aged nine, was knocked down by a passenger train and killed on a Saturday afternoon in May 1943 while using the Gelynis foot crossing at Morganstown. She was lodged with a family in Morganstown.<ref>{{cite web |last=Strange |first=Keith |title=Cardiff Schools & The Age of the Second World War |url=http://history.cardiffschools.net/WW2school_logs.doc |access-date=14 May 2011 |page=179 |format=DOC |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061210155702/http://history.cardiffschools.net/WW2school_logs.doc |archive-date=10 December 2006 }}</ref> As [[Cardiff Blitz|air raids on Cardiff]] increased, even younger children from Radyr were evacuated to boarding schools at Rhoose and Bridgend.<ref>{{cite book |last=Strange |first=Keith |title=Cardiff schools and the age of the Second World War |page=15 |url= https://www.scribd.com/doc/2589099/Cardiff-schools-and-the-age-of-the-Second-World-War |access-date=5 May 2009}}</ref>
