Add my storyBiography contributed by Stephen Brooks
James Moyle was one of seven brothers all of whom saw active service. They were the sons of William Henry and Eliza Jane Moyle, of Neilborough near Bendigo in Victoria, they had 17 children in total. James sadly died aboard a transport ship on his way to the war in late 1918, from complications caused by Spanish flu, and he was buried at sea only three weeks before the Armistice.
