Llandovery Officer falls in PalestineArticle primarily about Cyril Rees' brother, but giving information about Cyril Rees as well. Text: "Llandovery Officer falls in Palestine. News has been received that Capt. Albert Lloyd Rees, son of the late Councillor J. Rees, a former mayor of the borough, and Mrs Rees, Y Fron, who was with the Expeditionary Force, has been killed in action on the 6th inst. It is a sad coincidence that he was killed two years to the day after Lieut. Cyril Rees, his brother, who died from dysentery whilst serving in the Dardenelles. Lieut. Ivor Rees is still in France, where he has been for the last 18 months."
