213340 Able.Sea. William Stephen Lloyd Linfield Royal Navy HMS Dasher from:Twillingate, Newfoundland (d.27th Mar 1943) Able Seaman William Stephen Lloyd Linfield was my grandfather's 1st cousin. He lost his life in the explosion and sinking of the HMS Dasher, March 27, 1943. He was the son of Albert Stanley Harbin and Flora(Masters)Harbin. His mother died shortly after his birth and his father's sister Hannah and her husband, Edward John Linfield, agreed to care for him since they had no son of their own. Eventually, Lloyd's father remarried to Susan Payne and they had three sons, Ernest, Roy and Doug. Lloyd remained with Hannah ("Nan")and Edward ("Ned"). Edward became a prominent businessman and hoped Lloyd would one day inherit his business but that was not to be. With the outbreak of WWII Lloyd decided to join up and was formally adopted at that time. He was a likeable and very popular young man and his death was a terrible blow to his family and friends. Edward never got over it and seemed to lose interest in his business as a result.
