Ches. R.); together with a related cap badge, contact marks, very fine or better (3) £120-£160 --- Provenance: David Boniface Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, September 2008. Thomas Lloyd was born at Newton Heath, Lancashire, and attested for the Cheshire Regiment at Stockport, whilst residing at Bredbury.

Sergeant J. H. Wheeldon, a fellow native of Bredbury, wrote to Lloyd’s mother a few days later: ‘Your son Tommy was killed in action on 5th April and died in a few seconds. He did not suffer, thank God. He died like a hero in the face of the dirty dogs the enemy. I was only a few yards away from him. If God spares me to come home I will tell all about it. There are only two Bredbury lads here, Private H. Ashworth and myself.’ Sadly Sergeant Wheeldon was not spared, dying in June 1916. Lloyd has no known grave and is commemorated on the Basra Memorial, Iraq. Sold with copied research.
