Private John Boyd was my uncle and brother of my father, Private Herbert Boyd, also listed on this site.
My father was wounded during the first week of the Somme conflict and repatriated to England where he was hospitalized. On returning to France on 19 September 1917 he was posted to the 21st Battalion, the very same Battalion in which his brother John was serving when he was killed in action one month later on 4th October.
My father never ever spoke about his war service and never about his brother John. The information I now have I obtained only recently through research.

Pte. Edward Boyle
British Army 97th Company Machine Gun Corps
from:Richmond, Yorkshire
(d.28th June 1917)
My grandfather, Edward Boyle was born in Newcastle in 1897 and, at some time, moved to Richmond in Yorkshire. He worked on a farm. He was in France about two weeks after the war started. I don't know how as, even if he had been in the Territorial Army, he would have needed military training. For about the first year of the war he was in the Remounts Division of the Army Service Corps, acquiring and training horses. Perhaps, as it wasn't a combat role, he didn't need any army training. He may have been sent to France so early because of a need for men trained in handling horses. He was killed in action when his son, my father, was a few months old. His grave is in the Ramscappelle Road Military Cemetery near Nieuwpoort in Belgium.
