Grave marker for Edward A. Lloyd in Hockessin Friends Cemetery, Hockessin (New Castle county), Delaware.

Edward served with the 508th ARCT during the Operation Gyroscope period of 1955-56.

Edward's death certificate for some reason shows his usual occupation as student rather than soldier.

He lived for 48 hours following the accident which gave his father sufficient time to arrive at  his bedside.
