Llanarth, South Africa War

THE WAR. - The appearance of the name of Second-lieutenant Lloyd, of the Welsh Regiment, in Lord Roberts's latest list of casualties as severely wounded in the arm, has evoked widespread sympathy owing to the fact that Lieutenant Lloyd was the second son of the late Dr. Lloyd, Bishop of Bangor. Lieutenant Lloyd, though only 21 years of age, was about 6ft. in height, and a particularly smart-looking young fellow. He was educated at Cheltenham, afterwards being taken in hand by a private army tutor. He only received his commission a few days before he was ordered off to the front. He sailed for South Africa in the Kildonan Castle. He was employed for a time on the line of communications at Port Elizabeth, where he was seized with an attack of fever. On his recovery he was sent up to Colesberg, where he received his baptism of fire. Later on he took part in the Paardeberg fight, and has been in every fight since.
