Not been much news posted here lately as all the activity has been on the Canadain thread but thought I would update on the latest developments:



Some very good news to report - with the help of relatives and Steve John who runs a War Memorial website is South Wales John Lloyd has now been officially recognised as a War Casualty and is recorded in the Canadian Book of Remembrance.

Weirdly his death cert gives his date of death as 10th Novemebr while the gravestones in UK say 11 November - but we may still get to the bottom of that.

Also the military may be visiting/locating John Lloyd's grave so he may get an offical war headstone - will keep you all posted.

Thanks for all your input with this - John can now be officially remembered on our Remembrance Day in November while this time last year he was just a name on a headstone and no-one knew of his war service.

We would like to inform his descendants so if anyone is a decendant or knows of any please let us know.

Time difference between Alberta, Canada and UK.
