This story might have gone unnoticed, but for a chance encounter I had with an ebay listing for his medals. I had the chance to bring Private Walter Lloyd's British War Medal and Victory Medal to his grave at Dantzig Alley Cemetery on the Somme Battlefield. He was with the 1st Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment but was killed near Ginchy on August 26, 1916 while attached to the 20th Manchester Battalion.
