Included in this are wartime deaths resulting from, for example, theSpanish Influenza pandemic and its associated pneumonia problems and other attributions such as age and exhaustion. It also groups those who through Post Traumatic Stress committed suicide as a result of their experiences.

Although recorded as Royal Garrison Artillery, he is recorded as a Lieutenant in the 21st Lancers (1907)

Llewellyn Watkin Howell Tringham, born 1870, was a 2nd Lieutenant in the 21st Lancers in 1900 and Lieut. in 1906. He had come to the regt. via the 3rd Bn. RWF (to which he returned at a later stage). At the time of his death in Nov. 1918 from influenza (soon after being wounded), he was a Captain in the 21st Lancers.

Footnote upon the sale of his British War Medal (DNW 13th September 2012).. "Llewellyn Watkin Howell Tringham was appointed to a Cornetcy in the 21st Hussars (afterwards Lancers) in April 1900 and was advanced to Lieutenant in September 1906. Glimpses of his subsequent services in the Great War may be found in the regimental journal The Vedette, in which he is described as having charge of a German officers’ prison camp in Wales in early 1915 and, by 1918, ‘charge of artillery horses, France’. So, too, of his fate on 2 November 1918, while attached to 51st Brigade H.Q., R.G.A. - ‘died of influenza following on from wounds’. One of just 12 officers of the 21st Lancers to die on active service in the Great War, he is buried in the St. Sever Cemetery Extension in Rouen; sold with copied research, including what is believed to be a portrait photograph of Tringham in uniform."

Obituary- Source Unknown "ABERPORTH CAPTAIN DIED IN ROUEN. - The death has taken place at Rouen of Capt. Llewellyn Watkin Howell Tringham, 22nd Empress of India's Lancers, son of the late Mr Wm. Lloyd Tringham and Mrs Tringham, Pengraig, Aberporth, and grandson of the lat Major-gen. Sir Henry Hallan-Parr, and the late Capt. William Tringham R.N. He was a descendant of the ancient family of Wynne of Gwydyr, North Wales. He had a seat at Nerquis Hall, Flintshire of which county he was justice of the peace. Capt. Tringham was very devoted to his profession, and was acknowledged as an expert in musketry and machine-gun practice. For some time he acted as aide-de-camp to the late Major-gen. Sir Henry Hallan Parr, K.C.B. C.MG., G.O.C., South Eastern district. Early in 1917 he proceeded to France, where he was attached to the Royal Garrison Artillery. About a month ago he received injuries from a shell and whilst subsequently on his way home he was taken seriously ill, and passed away on November 22. The deaht of Capt. Tringham has deprived the country of a gallant soldier and a kind-hearted gentleman who was held in very high esteem by all who knew him. Much sympathy is felt for his aged mother and for his only brother, Mr. Mostyn Tringham of Ealing, London."
