while leading his company. Buried where he fell. His Colonel wrote: "Gwion Lloyd was one of my best officers, and I selected him and three others for promotion to the rank of Captain in 1914. These four were the backbone of my young officers. My New Army officers were a fine lot, and threw all their energies into helping the old hands to make a fine battalion of the 5th Dorsets. He set a fine example of the strenuous hard life. I met his brother Duncan, 1/5th Gurkhas, at Mudros, and my officers told me that he said on leaving for Anzac, 'Good-bye, Gwion. lf one of us has to be killed, I hope l shall be the one.' Gwion was leading part of his company when they started off on 7 August 1915, and came under very heavy fire, being one of the first to fall, and he was buried on Beach A, Suvla Bay, by the Staff Captain of the Brigade." A Corporal of his regiment wrote: "Captain Lloyd did his work well, and was hold in the highest esteem by the regiment. To the company, with which he came in the closest contact, he was everything that could be desired as an officer and leader. War terrible as this puts Officers and men together in commmon danger. Captain Lloyd was, in my oplnlon, one of those unselfish and gallant men who always have the safety and protection of their men at heart, while thinking little of their own." The Head Master of the school at Sherborne wrote: "We feel how fortunatn we were that Gwion should have spent those two years with us. He was of inestimable value to us, not only because of the actual work he did and the influence he had upon the boys, but because wherever he went he carried, as it were, an atmosphere with hlm - an atmosphere that was filled with noble ideals, kindliness and love. You can judge a mam by his friends, and Gwion's were many in number, and whenever they turned up at Sherborne we found them delightful men. He has gone, but he has left memories behind him which will be with us as long as we live." While at Clifton College he was Head of Moberley's House, also member of the Football Club XV., and at Oxford was a member of the Harlequins Football Club, playing offen for the A team; unm..

F., in 1907, and stationed at Abbottabad; served in Egypt from 04 December 1914, and with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Gallipoli from the beginning of June, 1915; was wounded on the 29th, and sent to Hospital at Malta; rejoined his regiment at Imbros 30 July; embarked for Anzac 04 August; took part in some heavy fighting there, being put in command of the 1/6th Gurkha Rifles 11 August, and was killed in action at Damejelik Bair 14 August following. Buried near were he fell. The Brigadier-General wrote: "Your son was a very great loss to me and to the Brigade. At the time I had very few officers left who knew anything of the of the Gurkhas. He had done extremely good work, and was a very gallant leader. Had he lived his excellent services would no doubt have been specially recognized. As it is, it must. I feel sure, be of some consolation to you and his mother that died serving his country in the most gallant way - with his face to the enemy, with the respect of us all for his soldierly qualities and without any pain whatever." And his Major wrote: "I knew your son very well from the time he joined the battalion first (1907), and watched with much interest his development into a capital administrator and a good soldier. As you know, he was Quartermaster for some years, and it was specially fortunate that it was so, for on our various moves to, and in Egypt and elsewhere, all necessary details were organized by your son in a manner that ensured the minimum of friction and the maximum of efficiency. We were certainly fortunate in having him then acting in that capacity. On 23 March, when we went out to attack a Turkish camp, he was commanding the 2nd Double Coy. Though the action was a small one, he came under my particular notice for the way he controlled his men and the fearless manner in which he led them. I subsequently had much pleasure in bringing his conduct to the dirct notice of his Colonel. who complimented him on it." A Colonel, whose Battalion Lieutenant Lloyd commanded while he was in hospital, also wrote: "He was a splendid officer and a very great loss to the Brigade. Though I only knew him a short time, I had a very great admiration for his qualities as a soldier and a man. I hope it may be some comfort to all of you to know well he had done, how much he was appreciated, and know that he died commanding a regiment, though only a subaltern." He was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 17 March, 1917] by General Sir Ian Hamilton, for gallant and distinguished service in the field. He published a book of poems, "Stray Notes" in Abbottabad, India, by Duncan Grey, 1909; unm. |
