He received education at Eton College and in the years 1914-1917 was an honorary Page of Honour to King George V.
Verney joins the army, and in 1919 receives his first commission to the Grenadier Guards. With them he spent years 1922-1923 in Turkey. In the 1928 Verney became a field adjutant to the Governor General of South Australia and held this post until 1929, when he returned to his unit.
In the years 1935-1938 he served as a General Staff Officer Grade 3 and subsequently in year 1938 started studies at the Staff College in Camberley which concluded in 1939. After completing studies, he is transferred to the Irish Guards.
In 1940, from May to September, Verney returned to the Staff College, this time as an instructor. After completing assignment, he is appointed as a commander of the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards with the rank of acting, then temporary and finally effective Lieutenant Colonel.
During the period of his command, the battalion was transformed into a tank battalion and he remained with this unit until the summer of 1942, when was transferred to the Ministry of War.
However, after only a month, Verney is placed in charge of the 32nd Guards Brigade as a acting Brigadier, and with this unit he will remain for a month.
Subsequently, in September 1942, he was entrusted with command of the 6th Guards Armoured Brigade, and transformed 6th Guards Tank Brigade from January 1943 to August 1944, the in the UK and Normandy.
In August 1944, is placed under his command as General Officer Commanding (GOC) the 7th Armoured Division with the rank of acting major general. This command is taken over on personal request of Gen. Montgomery, who relieved the previous commander, George W. E. J. Erskine, from command. The reason for that was very poor performance of unit at battle Villers-Bocage. After familiarizing himself with the units, Verney noted that the division fully deserved criticism (Divisional Commanders). He shaped unit in very short time and left.
This happened in November when he leaves that he take command of the 1st Guards Brigade and participates with it in the campaign in Italy and Austria. Here he became a military commander of Vienna from 1945 to September 1946.
In spring 1945, he is mentioned twice in a despatched (The Gazette No.36994, 37072) and on August 18, 1945, he is also awarded with DSO (The Gazette No.37310).
In September 1946, Verney returns to the UK and takes command of the 56th (London) Armoured Division and commands this unit until he retires in September 1948 (The Gazette No.38415).
In 1926, Verney married Joyce Sybil Vivian Smith, with whom he had two children: Mjr. Peter Vivian Lloyd-Verney and Bridget Mary Lloyd-Verney.
During his lifetime in 1941, he changed his name from Gerald Lloyd Verney to Gerald Lloyd-Verney.
Lloyd-Verney dies on 03/04/1957 in Enniskerry.

10.17.1900 ako syn dvorana Sira Harryho Lloyd Verney a Lady Joan Elizabeth Mary Cuffe.
Svoje vzdelanie získal na Eton College a v rokoch 1914-1917 bol čestným pážetem kála George V.
Vstupuje do armády a roku 1919 dostáva svoje prvé zaradenie a to ku Granátnickému gardovému pluku (Grenadier Guards) a spolu s jednotkou pôsobí v rokoch 1922-1923 v Turecku. V roku 1928 sa stáva polným adjutantom generálneho guvernéra Južnej Australie a tento post zastáva do 1929 kedy sa vracia ku svojmu pluku.
V rokoch 1935-1938 je štábnym dôstojníkom (GSO3) a následne nastupuje na štúdium na Štábnom kolégiu v Camberley v rokoch 1938-1939 a po jeho ukončení je prevelný k Irskému gardovému pluku (Irish Guards).
V roku 1940 od mája do spetembra sa vracia znovu na Štábne kolégium, tentokrát ako inštruktor. a po skončení na tejto funkcii je menovaný ako velitel 2. praporu (2d Battalion, Irish Guards) s hodnosťou zastupujúceho, následne dočasného a nakoniec efektívneho podplukovníka. Prapor v období jeho pôsobenia je transformovaný na tankový a zostáva pri tejto jednotke do leta 1942, kedy je prevelený k Ministerstvu vojny. Avšak už po mesiaci z ministerstva odchádza a je postavený do čela 32. gardovej brigády (32nd Guards Brigade) ako zastupujúci brigadier, v čele ktorej zotrvá mesiac. Následne v septembri 1942 je mu zverené velenie 6. gardovej obrnenej brigády (6th Guards Armoured Brigade), ktorá je od januára 1943 pretransformovaná na 6. gardovú tankovú brigádu (6th Guard Tanks Brigade) v UK a v Normandii.
V auguste 1944 je dané pod jeho velenie (GOC) 7. obrnená divízia (7th Armoured Division) a dostáva hodnosť zastupujúcho generálmajora. Toto velenie preberá na osobné poverenie od gen. Montgomeryho, ktorý zbavil predošlého velitela George W. E. J. Erskine velenia. Dôvodom pre výmenu velitela bol katasrofálny výkon jednotky u Villers-Bocage. Po oboznámení sa s jednotkov Verney poznamenal že jednotka si plne zalúžila kritiku (Divisional Commanders).
V novembri velenie opúšťa aby sa ujal velenia 1. gardovej brigády (1st Guards Brigade) a spolu s ňou sa účastní ťaženia v Itálii a Rakúsku. V Rakúsku sa stáva vojenským velitelom Viedne od 1945 do spetmebra 1946.
