"ORMEROD, LAWRENCE MORELAND, M.C., Capt., 2nd Battn (23rd Foot) The Royal Welsh Fusiliers, s. of Oliver Ormrod, of Pickhill Hall, Wrexham, co. Denbigh, J.P. for co. Denbigh and co. Flint, late Major Denbighshire Hussars, retired with the rank of Lieut.-Col., by his wife, Emily, dau. of the late W. J. Moreland, LL.D.; and brother to the late Capt. Ormrod (q.v.); b. Wrexham, 27 Nov. 1888; educ. Sandroyd School, Eton, and the Royal Military College, Sandhurrst; was gazetted 2nd Lieut. in 1909: promoted Lieut., and Capt. in 1914 ; served with his regiment in Burma and India, and on the outbreak of war, with the Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders from May 1915; was invalided home the following Nov.; rejoined his regiment on recovery; was severely wounded 27 May, 1917, and died at 27, Grosvener Square, W., 25 Aug. following.
