Subject: Leonard Harry Boyce 1898-?

L H Boyce was born in Suffolk, England in 1898. He served in the First World War (Royal Horse Artillery) and emigrated to Australia on the Baradine (march 9 1822). Family legend has it that he tried farming and taxi driving.
I do not know when he died, or whether he had a family before he died. (I was born in 1946, and have no memory of letters from him to his family in England.)
My dad used to talk about his brother Leonard, but that was mostly before he left for Australia.
He may have visited his cousin Herbert Reginald Boyce, who emigrated earlier and enlisted in Australia. H R Boyce got shipped off to France, got shot, got married in England and returned to Australia with his bride.
H R Boyce was living with his wife Sarah in Balaclava/Balaklava on 16/11/1922 when he received his medals.
Any help would be gratefully received.
