| Citation: | North West Europe. Citation for MBE: By reason of initiative, leadership and organising ability of Major Wilfred George LLOYD, Assistant Provost Marshal, provost resources with Third Canadian Infantry Division have at all times met the exceedingly heavy demands placed upon them. This has been most evident during periods of active operations when traffic control on operational routes and the handling of prisoners of war have stretched provost resources to their limit. On every occasion involving a move of this formation, Major LLOYD has personally gone to the forward areas to ensure that traffic moved in accordance with the plan. Many times under enemy shell fire, the presence of Major LLOYD, his coolness, fine soldierly example and ability to overcome obstacles, no matter how dangerous the situation, have been the main factor in keeping the traffic moving forward unimpeded. As a disciplinarian Major LLOYD has imbued all ranks with the high standard which he himself has set. The excellent standard of discipline, deportment and esprit de corps among provost personnel in this formation are the direct result of the insisitence at all times by Major LLOYD that all ranks not only do their job well but under any and all conditions. As a soldier and leader of men Major Wilfred George LLOYD has, by his ceaseless efforts, achieved an unrivalled reputation.Maj W N Wickwire DAAG 3 Cdn Inf Div. Maj-Gen DC Spry GOC 3 Cnd Inf Div..
