Henry Morgan Lloyd DSO OBE (9 June 1911 – 16 April 2001) was an Anglican priest in the second half of the 20th century.
[1] He was born into an ecclesiastical family, his father being the Revd David Lloyd, sometime Vicar of Weston-super-Mare[2] and educated at Canford School and Oriel College, Oxford.
He was awarded the DSO for his actions on board HMS Illustrious in January 1941; Illustrious, escorting a convoy to Malta, was subject to fierce air attacks, during which she was struck by multiple bombs.
The award was for his "gallantry and exemplary conduct"; he "worked incessantly on behalf of the wounded with complete disregard for his own safety" and "was conspicuous on the quarter deck, where many wounded men were isolated and a fierce fire was burning below, far into the night".
His practice of broadcasting a running commentary of the battle for the benefit of those of the crew who could not see what was happening became standard for all naval chaplains.
