Private George Tegid Lloyd was the son of Peter and Elizabeth Lloyd, and husband of Ruth Frances Lloyd, of Liverpool.
He served with The Worcestershire Regiment prior to volunteering for airborne forces during World War II.
Pte Lloyd qualified as a military parachutist on course 89, which ran at RAF Ringway from 28 October to 9 November 1943. The course notes record that he 'showed nervousness but jumped very well'.
He was posted to 8th (Midlands) Parachute Battalion after the parachute course.
Private Lloyd died shortly afterwards in the UK on New Years Day, 1944, aged 31 years old. He is now buried at Tidworth Military Cemetery, Wiltshire.
