operator of Morrison'S Funeral
Chapel at 603 Mass. Ave, could
not be present to greet him.
Lloyd enlisted in Nov. 1912 and

barked for overseas. Tasmania,
Southeast of Australia, was the
first stop, thence to Bombay,
and then to Calcutta, India, for
three months. Going north the
base of operations was transfer
red to Ledo, where he was sta
toned two years. The work con-
sisted in conveying supplies to
the front as was the case when
the boys got to China. From
Karachi (25 miles from Ledo) he
took ship for home via the Suez
Canal.
The young man is a graduate
of Boston Latin School and OF
