Remembered with honour
AGIRA WAR CEMETERY, SICILY


Born 18 Set 1918, Toronto, Toronto Municipality, Ontario, Canada;
Enlisted on 23 November 1939 in London, Ontario;
The photo was taken on June 1942

Lloyd was killed on 24 July 1943 in action during the fierce battle for Nissoria. The RCR and other regiments suffered many casualties that day when the Germans were dug into concealed positions in the hills east of town.
They waited here for the Canadians to close in and then opened up a barrage of artillery, mortar, machine guns, grenades and rifle fire on them. Many Canadians were killed or wounded in action and were buried there in field graves. Lloyd was one of them although his casualty card tells that his body was not recoverable. Lloyd was later reburied at Agira.
Lloyd was married just before he embarked for Sicily with Doreen McKay from Sunderland, England. His parents lived in Toronto and his father was a World War I veteran. He had five brothers and two sisters. One of his brothers also served overseas with the Royal Canadian Artillery.
Lloyd was part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force which went to France from 13-17 June 1940.
