"For conspicuous bravery in the leading of his Company in the advance on BROODSEINDE RIDGE on 4th Oct. On his right flank whilst waiting for the lift of the barrage from the Red protective line, this officer saved much confusion by skillful and quick re-organisation of units. By personal direction he was able to guide his Company with success in the mopping up of two Pill Boxes. At all times this officer moved about utterly regardless of personal danger, and along with his cheerfulness, was responsible for the keen spirit of resistance shown to the enemy. He personally reconnoitered ground in front of the advanced positions and located an enemy strong post which was subsequently blown out and two prisoners captured. Though wounded twice, this officer remained on duty for 48 hours and has since been evacuated."

Citation:"For fearlessness, ability & untiring devotion at TOBRUK from 26th March to 31st July 1941."
Recommendation: "At Tobruk during the period 26 Mar to 31 Jul 41 Lt-Col Lloyd has been in command of 2/28 Aust Inf Bn. Early in April during the withdrawal to this area of our forces Lt-Col Lloyd skilfully placed and handled his Bn. enabling our forces to withdraw from the perimeter defences occupied by his Bn. and hold off enemy forces during readjustment and organisation of the Tobruk defences. With the exception of 9 days in reserve since 1 Apr his Bn has occupied front line defences in every sector of the Tobrukk area during which time the activity of his unit in deefence works, raids, and fighting patrols has been of an outstanding nature.
Throughout the period Lt.-Col Lloyd has been almost continuously among his forward troops by day and by night and by his fearlessness, cheery and untiring disposition and decided ability despite the undoubted strain to which he has been subjected he had done much to build and retain the undoubted efficiency and high morale which exists in his Bn."
