Lloyd, Ambrose-Sher

During the First World War he enlisted in his hometown of London, England, to the Jewish Legion – the 38th Battalion of the King’s Platoon. Together with his battalion, he arrived in Palestine to participate in the conquest of the Turks. He fought on the way to Nablus and the battle over the Jordan passes. Lloyd was one of Peterson’s deputies, the battalion commander. While the battalion was in Lod, Lloyd fell ill and was sent to a hospital. On 14 Cheshvan, October 20, 1918, he died in his illness and was brought to rest in the British military cemetery in Ramle. His name was immortalized in the Yizkor book of the Jabotinsky Institute and in YH Peterson “with the Jewish Battalions in Palestine.”
