Pte 12226 Edward Lloyd, 1/4th Bttn Royal Welch Fusiliers. Youngest son of Mr and Mrs Edward Lloyd, Bronniarth, Guilsfield who was killed 13 January 1917, France.

Montgomeryshire County Times report 3 February 1917: We regret to hear that Pte D.E. Lloyd lost his life in France. The parents received last Monday the following communnication from his Second Lieut. 'I regret that circumstances prevented me previously expressing my deepest sympathy with you in the loss of your son. Pte D.E. Lloyd who was killed in action during the afternooon of 13 January 1917. His comrades paid their last tributes on January 14th and a cross has been erected to mark the resting place of one who so very nobly laid down his life for his King and Country'.

Mrs Jones: I suspect John Lloyd's death must be from wounds as it took place a month after Armistice was announced.

Pte. 48391 John Lloyd, 16th Bn. (according to Commonwealth War Graves Commission records, though the family memorial service card states 5th Bn.) Manchester Regiment, died of wounds 12th December 1918, and is buried in Tournai Communal Cemetery Allied Extension.

These images are a sample from a folder of research undertaken by Mrs Jones into the men named on the war memorial (1914-1919) of Guilsfield parish (near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire - now Powys, in Wales). The names include: Frank Arthur, Ernest Charlton, Edward Evans, Robert Evans, Fred Evans, Charles Galliers, Robert Gainsford, Edward Griffiths,John Higgins, Edwin Jones, James Jones, Charles Jones, William Jones, Alan Langlands, Edward Lloyd, John Lloyd, Richard Morgan, Edward Morris, John Owen, Evan Phillips, Herbert Trevor, David E. Bailey, Herbert Bailey, Arthur Gough, Charles Jones, George R. Jones, Arthur T. Lewis, Mathew W.H. Morris, Richard D.H. Mytton, Gruffydd V. Trevor. Representing a number of regiments of the army, also the Royal Navy and the Royal Flying Corps. Also evident is the volunteers who joined up early in the war, as well as the tribunals which decided that even though farming was a reserved occupation that man-power being so scarce some men would be compelled to join the army, leaving their families, their aging fathers, mothers, sisters and younger siblings to continue to provide food for the war effort - an insight into the home-front in rural Wales.

### 整体研究背景
这批影像为琼斯夫人所开展研究的样本之一，该研究聚焦于圭尔兹菲尔德（Guilsfield）教区（靠近威尔士浦（Welshpool），蒙哥马利郡（Montgomeryshire）——现威尔士波伊斯郡（Powys））1914-1919年战争纪念碑上所列的阵亡将士。纪念碑上的姓名包括：弗兰克·亚瑟、欧内斯特·查尔顿、爱德华·埃文斯、罗伯特·埃文斯、弗雷德·埃文斯、查尔斯·加利亚尔斯、罗伯特·盖恩斯福德、爱德华·格里菲斯、约翰·希金斯、埃德温·琼斯、詹姆斯·琼斯、查尔斯·琼斯、威廉·琼斯、艾伦·兰兰兹、爱德华·劳埃德、约翰·劳埃德、理查德·摩根、爱德华·莫里斯、约翰·欧文、埃文·菲利普斯、赫伯特·特雷弗、戴维·E.贝利、赫伯特·贝利、阿瑟·高夫、查尔斯·琼斯、乔治·R.琼斯、阿瑟·T.刘易斯、马修·W.H.莫里斯、理查德·D.H.米顿、格鲁菲德·V.特雷弗。这些阵亡将士隶属于陆军多个军团，另有皇家海军（Royal Navy）与皇家飞行队（Royal Flying Corps）成员。此外，研究还展现了战争初期入伍的志愿兵群体，以及征兵法庭的相关情况：尽管农业属于保留职业，但因人力极度匮乏，部分男性仍被强制参军，留下家人、年迈的父母、姐妹与年幼的弟妹继续为战争贡献粮食生产——这为我们洞察威尔士乡村的后方生活提供了珍贵视角。
