The "Carmarthen Journal" reported on 21 July 1916:
News has been received by Police-constable and Mrs. Young, Police-station, Llandyssul, that their son, Private Albert E. Young, Welsh Guards, has died of wounds. Private Young, who was only 21 years of age, was well known at Llanon, Cardiganmshire, where his father had been stationed before being transferred to Llandyssul. Another son of Police-constable and Mts. Young, Private Vivian Young, had already been wounded.

Also the "Nyffryn Teifi" (Teifi Valley) reported the death of Private Albert E. Young:
LLANDYSSUL - Sad news came to Llandyssul and district for the death of Pte. Albert E. Young, son of Constable Young. He was wounded on the battlefield in France, and died a few days later. Although he worshiped with Methodism, the denominations and the Church united to hold a memorial service for the young men at Selon Chapel on Sunday evening. Deepest condolences are extended to the distressed father and mother and the family in their longing for their loved one.

Lloyd, Gwion Llewelyn Bowen, Captain, 5th (Service) Battn. The Dorsetshire Regiment, 5th and youngest son of Charles Lloyd, of Waunifor, Maesycrugiau, ro. Cardigan, M. A. (Uxon), J. P., D. L., by his wile, Margaret MacFie, daughter of Duncan Alexander Campbell, of Barriemore, Appin, co. Argyle. J. P.; and brother to Lieutenant D. I. B. Lloyd (q. v.); born Waunifor aforesaid, 21 February 1888; educated Avondale, Clifton, Bristol; Clllton College, September 1900-7; Oriel College, Oxford, where he graduated Theology (3rd Class Honours) and B. A. in 1911, und Bishop’s Theological Collegr, Cheshunt; was subsequently an Asslstant Master at Acreman House Preparatory School, Sherborne; obtalned a commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the 5th Dorsetshire Regiment 26 August 1914; was promoted Lieutenant 31 December following, and Captain in May, 1915; served with the Mediditerranean Expiditionary Force in Gullipoli from July, and was killed ln actlon at Beach A, Suvla Bay, 07 August following, while leading his company. Buried where he fell.
His Colonel wrote: "Gwion Lloyd was one of my best officers, and I selelcted him and threw others for promotion to the rank cf Captain in 1914. These four were the backbone of my young officers. My New Army officers were a fine lot, and threw all their energies into helping the old hands to make a fine battalion of the 5th Dorsets. He set a fine example of the strenous hard life. I met his brother brother Duncan, 1/5th Gurkhas, at Mudros, and my officers told me that he said on leaving for Anzac, 'Good-bye, Gwion. If one of us has to be killed, I hope I shall be tho one.' Gwion was leading part of his company when they started off on 07 August 1915, and came under very heavy fire, being one of the first to fall, and he was buried on Beach A, Suvla Bay, by tho Staff Captain of the Brigade."
A Corporal of his regiment wrote: "Captain Lloyd did his work well. and was held in the highest esteem by the regiment. To the company, with which he came in the olosest contact, he was everything that could be desired as an officer and a leader. War terrible as this puts officers and men together in common danger. Captain Lloyd was, in my opinion, one of those unselfish and gallant men who always have the safety and protection of their men at heart, while thinking little of their own."
The Head Master of the school at Sherborne wrote: "We feel how fortunate we were that Gwion should have spent those two years with us. He was of inestimable value to us, not only because of the actual work he did and the influence he had upon the boys, but wherever he went he carried, as it were, an atmosphere with him - an atmosphere that was filled with noble ideals, kindliness and love. You can judge of a man by his friends, and Gwion's were many in number, and whenever they turned up at Sherborne we found them delightful men. He has gone, but he has left memories behind him which will be with us as long as we live."
While at Clifton College he was Head of Moberley's House, also member of the Football XV, and at Oxford was a member of the Harlequins Football Club, playing often for the A Team; unm.

De Ruvignys Roll of Honour
Lloyd, Duncan Ian Bowen, Lieutenant and Quartermaster, 1/5th Gurkha Rifles, F. F., I. A., 4th son of Charles Lloyd of Waunifor, Maesycrugian, co. Cardigan, M. A. (Oxon), J. P., D. L., by his wife Margaret MacFie, daughter of Duncan Alexander Campbell, of Barriemore, Appin, co. Argyle, J. P.; and brother to Captain G. L. B. Lloyd (q. v.); born Waunifor aforesaid 16 March 1886; educated Oswestry Grammar School 1896-98; Clifton College 1898-1904, and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst 1905-6; gazetted 2nd Lieutenant, unattached list 20 August 1906; transferred to the Indian Army 22 October 1907, and promoted Lieutenant 29 November 1908; served his first year with the Black Watch, stationed at Peshawar, being posted to the 1st Gurkha Rifles, F. F., in 1907, and stationed at Abbottabad; served in Egypt from 04 December 1914, and with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Gallipoli from the beginning of June 1915; was wounded on the 26th and sent to Hospital at Malta; rejoined his regiment at Imbros 30 July; embarked for Anzac 04 August; took part in some heavy fihting there, being put in command of the 1/6th Gurkha Rifles 11 August, and was killed in action at Damejelik Bair 14 August following. Buried near where he fell.
The Briadier-General wrote: "Your son was a very great loss to me and to the Brigade. At the time I had very few offivers left who knew anything of Gurkhas. He had done extremely good work, and was a very gallant leader. Had he lived his excellent services would no doubt have been specially recognized. As it is, it must. I feel sure, be of some consolation to you and hisd mother that he died serving his country in the most gallant way - with his face to the enemy, with the respect of us all for his soldierly qualities and without any pain whatever," and his Major wrote: "I knew your son very well from the time he joined the battalion first (1907), and watched with much interest his development into a capital administrator and a good soldier. As you know, he was Quartermaster for some years, and it was specially fortunate that it was so, for on our various moves to, and in, Egypt and elsewher, all necessary details were organized by your son in a manner that ensured the minimum of friction and the maximum of efficientcy. We were certainly fortunate in having him then acting in that capacity. on 23 March, when we went out to attack a Turkish camp, he was commanding the 2nd Double Coy. Though the action was a small one, he came under my particular notice for the way he controlled his men and the fearless manner in which he lead them. I subsequently had much pleasure in bringing his conduct to the direct notice of his Colonel, who complimented him on it."
A Colonel, whose Battalion Lieutenant Lloyd commanded while he was in hospital, also wrote: "He was a splendid officer and a very great loss to the Brigade. Though I only knew him a short time, I had a very great admiration for his qualities as a soldier and a man. I hope it may be some comfort to all of you to know how well he had done, how much he was appreciated, and how deeply his loss was felt. It must also, I fell, be some slight compensation to know that he died commanding a regiment, though only a subaltern."
He was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 17 March 1917] by General Sir Ian Hamilton, for gallant and distiguished service in the field. He published a book of poems, "Stray Notes", in Abbottabad, India, by Duncan Grey, 1909; unm.
