Cpl. Ernest Joyce Machine Gun Corps

Ernest Joyce (far right) at Stendal in August 1918

All I have learnt is that Ernest Joyce was a regular soldier in the North Staffordshire Regiment and was part of the BEF landing in France in early September 1914. Eventually he transferred to MGC. He was initially reported missing, but was in fact taken prisoner of war on 22nd of March 1918 at St Quentin. He was sent to Stendal prisoner of war camp.

2Lt. Patrick Joseph Ryan Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.23rd March 1918 )

Patrick Ryan and family

My grandfather, Patrick Ryan, served in the 1st World War. He was married to Rose Ryan of 19 Sandy Lane, Coventry, England. He had two sons Alan and John.

He was killed in the line of duty outside of Arras in the battle called Operation Michael, while attached to the 6th North Staffordshire Regiment. He was wounded in the mid section but stood for half an hour to rally on his men. I have a document to verify that fact. He was taken on a stretcher but a German soldier told the carriers to drop him back down and pick up a wounded German soldier who may have had a smaller wound and more of a chance to survive.

He was a slim man of Irish descent with red hair and was in an Irish regiment. He had also been in India with the army in what capacity I do not know, but he was called up to join the English Army.

My father, Patrick's son, John had a few items of documented facts from his service. His name is on a monument in Arras as his body was never found. I have collected a number of items, typed records from one of his men who called him a real gentleman. I have his cross of Jesus and my cousin has his crucifix. I met a cousin in Coventry on my last day on a visit there. I met Joseph's second cousins and a small collection of Ryans. I have a picture of him in uniform along with my Nana his wife Rose and their two children on two occasions Joseph was on leave.

Pte. John Port 6th Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment (d.1st July 1916)

John Port joined the army aged 16 and 4 months in 1912, prior to which he was a brewers labourer, as was his father. He was 5'5'' tall, dark brown hair, brown eyes.

His army papers have very little detail of unit locations but record the following: He went out to France in March 1915 with the 6th North Staffs and made a 2 week visit to a field hospital with dypyheria in July 1915 before returning to his unit. He received a gun shot wound to his left foot in September and returned to the UK for treatment, returning to his unit in Jan 1916. Next entry is dates 1st July 1916, at first listed as missing and then 'Died on or since 1/7/1916'.

John's CWGC entry shows killed in action and he is remembered at Theipval. In 1919 John's father William is written to in preparation of issues of the death penny and he is required to list all living blood relatives on army form W 5080, not something I've seen before. In this it shows his older brother William as serving in the Royal Navy since 1907 and younger brother Harry in the Kings Own Royal Lancs. Both survived the war. RIP John.

    The free section of The Wartime Memories Project is run by volunteers.

    This website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

    If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
