Neville Joyce was the son of George Roderick and Florence Barfield Joyce, of 13 Woodlands St., Timaru, New Zealand. Also served in Egypt. AWMM
Neville was born in Invercargill on 14 August 1892. His parents were Florence Burfield (nee Galland) and George Roderick Joyce. He attended Timaru High School and qualified for matriculation and solicitors' general knowledge in 1909. He went to the University of Otago in 1911 where he studied law. He then joined the staff of Timaru law firm Raymond, Raymond, and Campbell. He was active in the Defence Rifle Club, usually being among the highest scorers in the competitions. By May 1915 he had enlisted and his firm made a presentation of a "substantial cheque" and wrist watch to Joyce and another recruit, HF Monson, before their departure to Trentham for military training. Joyce joined the Seventh Reinforcements of the Canterbury Infantry Battalion and held the rank of Sergeant.
His army medical examination report shows he was 5 foot 11-3/8 tall (1.81 metres), weighed 140 pounds (63.5 kg) and had blue eyes and light brown hair.
He received a commission as Second Lieutenant on 1 October 1915 after passing the special examination for first appointments to commissions in September.
Neville embarked from New Zealand on 9 October 1915. He landed at Suez in Egypt on 18 November and was based in Ismailia. In February 1916 it was reported that he was the only one out of 70 candidates to obtain 100% of marks in his first examination at an officers' instruction school an that "In his second examination he topped the list with 95%." (Timaru Herald, 3 February 1916, page 7).
On 1 March 1916 he was promoted to First Lieutenant and reported as "somewhere in France". The news reached New Zealand on 15 June 1916 that he had died of wounds on 8 June 1916. A report carried in newspapers around the country states: "General regret has been expressed in Timaru since the receipt of the news that Lieutenant N.S. Joyce had made the supreme sacrifice in the battlefield of Flanders. Even in pre-war times Lieutenant Joyce was a keen soldier. He was educated at the Southland High School and the Timaru High School, and by dint of hard work and scholastic brilliance became a law student at the Otago University, afterwards joining the firm of Messrs Raymond, Raymond, and Campbell, solicitors, Timaru. He was only 23 years of age, was an enthusiastic member of the Timaru Defence Rifle Club, and was interested in several other Timaru institutions." (Poverty Bay Herald, 24 June 1916, page 6).
Joyce is among those remembered on Timaru's Memorial Wall which was constructed in 1998 behind the Timaru Cenotaph.
In 1924 the Governor-General, Lord Jellicoe, opened the Timaru Boys' High School War Memorial Library. The library contains a Roll of Honour giving the names of 52 pupils of the school who were killed in World War I. Among them is the name "N.S. Joyce."
