On January 6, 1893, during an attack on Fort Sima in Burma, Surgeon Major Lloyd went with an Indian NCO to the assistance of the commanding officer who was wounded. He then stayed with the officer while the NCO went back to get further help in carrying the wounded man back to the fort. The enemy were within 10 paces the whole time, keeping up a heavy fire and Surgeon Major Lloyd was wounded while returning to the fort.
