John Lloyd D.Lovat d.11/11/1918

[Crunwere]

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 November 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.

Hi Crunwere,

Congratulations on getting John Lloyd the recognition he deserves.

I should have photos of the Lovett graveyard & town-site before the end of the weekend. I'll post them here when they arrive.

Cheers,

Wow thanks RedMystic - its all coming together now isn't it!!

Here is what Johnnie has.

He can't tell us who is in the specific graves, but the pictures give you a sense of what is left of the ghost town of Lovett. Given that some of the crosses are original & some are newer, it looks like the mining firm that owns the lease on is allowing someone on to maintain the cemetery.

Wow thanks - it looks very peaceful - I'm surprised to see so many markers - it looks a very tranquil place.

Since John was a Prison Warden in the U.K. I wonder if he kept up the profession once he crossed the pond.
