Edgar Harold Lloyd (February 28, 1922 – November 16, 1944) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II. ==Biography== A son of two farmers, Lloyd attended the University of Arkansas, and served as captain of his ROTC company. He joined the Army from his birthplace of Blytheville, Arkansas in April 1943, and attended Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning.〔(Encyclopedia of Arkansas Profile )〕 By September 14, 1944 was serving as a first lieutenant in Company E, 319th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry Division. On that day, near Pompey, France, he single-handedly destroyed five enemy machine gun positions. Lloyd was killed in action two months later and, on April 7, 1945, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions near Pompey. Lloyd, aged 22 at his death, was buried at the Courthouse Lawn in his hometown of Blytheville, Arkansas.
