World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
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.

"On recovering from his wound, Lieut Bernard S Marshall MC S.W.B. applied for transfer to the Royal Flying Corps and was gazetted in December 1916. After about 6 months training, he took his Wings and was immediately ordered to France again on the 1st of June 1917. His career as a Flying Officer was a short one for on 7th June while on his second flight that day he failed to return and was reported missing. Some months later his observer was found to be a prisoner in Germany and he reported that while on an offensive patrol they attacked a flight of enemy machines and an anti aircraft shell bursting near them hit Lt Marshall in the head and killed him instantaneously, the machine, a FE2B, was also extensively hit and crashed into a canal near Lille, the machine sank and Lt. Marshall's body was not recovered."
The observer, my grandfather, Charles Lloyd, although injured by the crash, managed to reach the bank with the help of two Germans and was immediately taken prisoner. He then received extensive surgery for his injuries. My grandfather told my aunt that a part of the AA shell had passed through the Lieutenant and wounded him. However, he amended the above account, which he had told Lt. Marshall's family by saying that though mortally wounded the pilot came round and recovered control of the aircraft to crash land it in the canal. After his release from the German hospital, he eventually finished the war as a POW working on a farm and became fairly fluent in German. They were both Swansea men.
In the 2nd Royal Welsh Fusiliers which granddad had joined in 1913, he was part of one of the battalion's Vickers MG crews.

David Lloyd was one of 12 children. Because of the lack of work in Cardiganshire at the time nearly all the children left for London to work in the dairy trade including David.
My grandmother was the eldest and helped bring up her siblings. When David prepared to leave for war my grandmother walked from her home Esgair garn down to the village to see him off. She was heavily pregnant at the time and the strain and worry brought on the birth of her daughter (my mother)a month early.
David earned the Victory Medal and the British Empire Medal

from:Frodsham
Harry Lloyd was wounded at Cambrai in November 1917 after going right through the war until then. He was a pioneer with 1/5th Cheshire Regiment. We have a copy of his regiment's war record with roll of honour in the back. It is very precious to us. He has written in the margins. It has trench maps and he marked were he was wounded. He was hit by shell fragments and coughed up a lump of shrapnel years later - I still have it in a glass phial. The three men with him were all killed. He lay in a trench left for dead until a retreating officer used him as a duckboard and he groaned out loud. He was picked up and run with, he was still holding a bacon sandwich in his hand the tendons were severed and his fist was clenched around it. He arrived back in Blighty on Christmas Eve and spent months in hospital before he recovered. The war was over by the time he did. He was my Grandad and my hero

Herbert James "Bert" Lloyd
British Army Glamorgan Yeomanry
from:Cardiff
I have my grandfather's diary written during his time in the Holy Land. He saw Laurence of Arabia being presented with a white camel and speaks of how rare white camels were. Every block house they stayed at he lists the dimensions and talked of all the flies. As a child he told me many stories of this time. Learning to ride on Sherringham Beach being allocated a grey mare. Out in Palistine they were aware of the, as he called them, "fuzzy wussys" stealing kits. The troops would only take off one boot to sleep and tied the other to it so they couldn't be stolen.
At what he called the Bahrain Oasis they joined in with a Trible wedding. I have the jewelry he was given that day. The saddest day seems to be when they got to Alexandria. The men were refusing to hand their horses over to Arab horse traders before the men set sail for France. They had seen the way the Arabs treated their animals and couldn't bear to give them over. He said that some men shot their own horses but never said what happened to the men because of this. He carried all his mementos in a black cat tobacco tin which I still keep them in.

My father, Horace Lloyd, 2/5 South Staffs T.F., is listed as wounded on the War Office Weekly Casualty List, Aug. 14th 1917, but in France 4.9.1916-28.7.1917. A shell landed in his trench. Three other men sitting around a card table with him were killed - he was blown into no-man's land then invalided to UK. I would like to know where the 2/5 S. Staffs were fighting at that time. He later became Pte 39868 Worc. Regiment.
