Here is an appeal for help from all you canny sleuths out there...

'The SAS & LRDG Roll of Honour, 1941 - 1947', by ex-L/Cpl 'X', Queen's Gallantry Medal, is a seminal project that brings together the moving stories of every Special Air Service and Long Range Desert Group casualty of the Second World War.
Meticulously and passionately researched over 13 years, this exhaustive work is a unique combination of operational reports, personal service records and medal citations, all given colour and depth through correspondence with next of kin and the recollections of those that were there.
Lavishly illustrated, with many photographs published for the first time, it celebrates the extraordinary and largely unreported bravery of 374 casualties now commemorated in seventeen countries...

All 5000 copies of the first run sold out with 100% of profits donated to Service Charities and to the erection of memorials to those 374 casualties.

This summer a new memorial to eight SAS, shot after capture, will be opened in France!
L/Cpl 'X' would like to find relatives of the fallen - so they can be invited to witness the unveiling of the memorial.

So far L/Cpl 'X' has managed to trace relatives and find photos of all but one of those 8 brave souls - Pte Leonard E. C. LLOYD still evades him...

Leonard Edwin Charles LLOYD was born in Sydenham 05 November 1920 - the son of Charles & Mildred Lloyd (née Allen) of Hayfield Rd, St Mary Cray, Orpington,Kent

2063834, Sapper Lloyd joined the TA 35th AA, Royal Engineers at Dulwich on 24 October 1938 and was mobilised late August 39. The following summer the unit was transferred to the RA & he was re-badged with rank of Gunner.

Here's where I appeal to you all to use all your resources to try to trace Len Lloyd's relatives and pass details to me (by email or PM, please) or email: [email protected]

Thank you,

Nick
