Personal Notes:

Killed on active service in the Middle East in thte first World War. He is buried at the Amara war Cemetery in Iraq (see Commonwealth War Graves records): BOYCE, J R Private, Service Number 1291 died 10/05/1916, Devonshire Regiment, Grave/Memorial Ref. VI. A. 8. He is remembered on the Exmouth War memorial BOYCE, JR, EXMOUTH, 10/05/16, PTE 1291, DEVON RGT. He was probably involved in the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force and the battle to take Amara was about the time of his death. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2958143.stm The cemetery at Al Amara, built for those on the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, has been discovered by the banks of the Tigris river. It was found by the Royal Irish Regiment, who on Easter Sunday will say prayers at the cemetery for those who died and for the current armed forces. The site had been protected by its Iraqi keeper, who received death threats from Baath officials. The cemetery, which includes two Victoria Cross winners, was abandoned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission after the last Gulf War. He said the Commonwealth War Graves Commission had a warehouse full of new headstones in Baghdad, but their distribution had been delayed by the war. The headstones at Al Amara were plundered by an earlier Iraqi regime in 1937. The condition of Al Amara was in contrast with another British military cemetery near Basra, which was found in a state of disrepair. It contained hundreds of soldiers and officials who died over a series of campaigns from 1880 onwards.
