Edward Pryse Lloyd was born at Halkyn, Flintshire, on 30 October 1822. He was appointed Ensign in the 24th Bengal Native Infantry on 29 December 1844, and promoted to Lieutenant on 12 September 1846. He served throughout the Sutlej campaign of 1845-46, including the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshuhur, Buddiwal, and Aliwal, also in the operations against the Forts of Dhurm Kot and Phillour (Medal and two Clasps). Served under Sir Hugh Wheeler against the insurgents in Cashmere in 1847; appointed in 1848, at the commencement of the outbreak that resulted in the Second Sikh Campaign, Adjutant of the 1st Sikh Infantry, and proceeded with a party of Sikhs from Hooshearpore, and surprised, seized, blew up, and demolished the strong Fort of Choky, in the Himalayas, in 1849; served against the insurgents under Ram Singh, and was present at the attack on the enemy’s position at Akrot and Aurkabagh (not entitled to the Punjab medal for these operations).
In 1857 he was appointed by Lord Canning second in command, during the Mutinies of the Kamroop Regiment. In 1860 he was appointed Assistant Commissioner of Assam, and was afterwards Principal Assistant to the Governor-General’s Agent, N.E. Frontier, and then Deputy Commissioner, 1860; thanked twice by the Government of Bengal for services to the Bhootan Expedition under Sir Henry Tombs, V.C.
He married in 1849, at Simla, India, Louisa Susan, youngest daughter of the late Isaac Pereira, of the Bengal Artillery, and had issue, 3 sons and one daughter. He succeeded to Llandingat House, Carmarthenshire, and part of the Maesllydan estate, 12 September 1870, when he assumed, by injunction of the will of the late Mrs Lloyd Harries, the surname Harries in addition to his own of Lloyd.
Promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel on 29 December 1870, he retired shortly afterwards. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Pryse Lloyd Harries died at Llandridnod Wells on 26 September 1890. The above service details were compiled from various sources, including Bengal Army Lists, Hart’s Army List, and Annals and Antiquities of the Counties and County Families of Wales, from which it would appear that he is only entitled to the medal for the Sutlej campaign with two clasps.
