Drat - I was getting all excited after your first post but then I thought he'd be too young - so your second post bears that out - shame - but thanks for looking.

Well John Tyson Lloyd had his official recognition as a war casualty last year but unfortunately we still cannot find his burial.

I realised Dyfed FHS had the MI recorded and a kind lady checked Henllan chapel for me - so although on the War Memorial there he did not have a gravestone.

He is recorded on the Find A Grave website but only his military service - so his resting place is still unknown.  Also checking online newspapers does not show any reference to him - a mystery.

Not got any detail to hand but if you tell us the places from the other censuses it may give us a clue of some sort.

Thanks for the explanation Redmystic. 

I thought it a little surprising that so little mention was made of him in the article after so much preparation work had gone into it with info from relatives etc - that explains it - a shame but these things happen unfortunately.

Anyhow the main thing was to find the grave, get him officially recognised and get a stone - all of which was accomplished.

What an exciting journey it has been.

Thanks Redmystic. 

We had the pictures emailed to us to put up on display for Remembrance Sunday back in November.

We had been asked not to publish before the story was put in the newspapers so left it completely.  Though there was only a small mention of John Lloyd.

Had not heard about them having trouble getting to the graveyard and passing the task over to others. 

In uk its hard for us to imagine such remote places!

Once again thanks for your and everyone's help in getting such a positive result to our quest.

Wow - super news - thanks for keeping us posted RedMystic.

Had seen a few pictures earlier from your friend of the clear-up taking place at Lovett but at the time no news on the headstone.

Yes great if its all in place for Remembrance Day.
