Col.Sgt. Benjamin Joyce
Royal Marine Light Infantry

(d.15th Feb 1915)
My grandfather, Ben Joyce, lost his life when HMS Clan McNaughton (a 4985 ton passenger cargo vessel, built in 1911 and requisitioned November 1914 from the Clan Line Steamers Ltd, Glasgow) was last heard of on 3rd February 1915. Wreckage was later found in the area and Clan McNaughton was presumed sunk with the 281 strong crew. He was a colour sergeant in the Royal Marines. He was 39 at the time of his death. I know nothing more about the circumstances of his death.
