Major. Alfred W.K. Lloyd

British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Sussex Regiment

from:Groombridge, Kent

(d.3rd Feb 1919)

I come from Groombridge and, as an ex Army Officer, I was asked why Major Lloyd had a war grave in Groombridge despite dying in 1919. My first thoughts were that he had died fighting in the campaign in Russia in 1919 (which many memorials count as the end of WW1). Reading a newspaper cutting though it is clear that the injuries sustained after the battle of Festeburt plagued him thereafter, his death was probably directly attributable to this battle hence his war grave.
