Richard was at the school from 1938-1947 and will be sadly missed by his friends, family and all who knew him at the School.

We are conscious that many people from this time at school may not be in contact with us and we would be very grateful if you could pass on this information to those that you know.

As is the usual practice, we would like to place an obituary for him in the next OI Journal and would be very grateful if anyone felt they could come forward to write one. Alternatively, if you know of any stories or memories, please pass them on so we could put them together for the publication. Address any contributions to me through oldipswichians@ipswich.school.

With best wishes,

Iain Chesterman

OI Chairman

Colonel Richard James (Jim) Boyles passed away peacefully at home on 18th January 2022. Jim was a day boy at Ipswich School (which his son Peter also attended as a boarder) from 1938 to 1948. He was a keen rugby player and played two seasons for the First Fifteen. He then spent his whole career with the British Army, returning to Ipswich School at one stage to inspect the CCF. He retired as a full Colonel and spent his retirement years with his wife Joy in Budleigh Salterton. He is survived by his wife Joy, and four children.
