LIEUT-COLONEL CYRIL BOYDEN FROM the age of eight, when he joined the young people’s band, Cyril’s involvement in a south London corps began shaping his faith in God. Later, serving in the British Army during the Second World War in the UK and India (during the Far East campaign) so challenged his maturing faith experience that he became an officer instead of pursuing a career in accountancy, and was commissioned in 1947. He met and married his beloved Helen, whose love immeasurably transformed his life and ministry.

A dedicated Bible scholar and creative writer, and a member of the International Doctrine Council through the 1960s, Cyril tutored advanced level biblical studies and wrote many Bible study handbooks for IHQ.

From 1964 to 1971 he was head of the Education Department at the International Training College in London. In 1971 Cyril and Helen were appointed to Canada where he became education secretary at THQ. They later served for four years as divisional leaders in Western Newfoundland and Ontario Central. Unassuming by nature, Cyril expressed leadership in quiet, thoughtful and perceptive ways, touching the lives of many with understanding, grace and wisdom. In Helen and Cyril’s final years of active service they used their creative skills to develop significant new Salvation Army pastoral care and marriage enrichment leadership programmes.

Retiring at Calgary in 1985, Cyril chaired the Grace Hospital spiritual values committee, and continued as a consultant for THQ pastoral care programmes.

Later, Helen and Cyril moved to Kelowna, in Canada, to be near their daughter, Helen, and son-in-law, Grant. Cyril’s faith journey was shaped, tested and enriched in the crucible of the years, and he moved through life’s ultimate doorway in the quiet confidence that God, whom he had come to know in Jesus, was ‘utterly dependable’ (1 Corinthians 1:9 J.B. Phillips). – C. B.

IVOR ANNETTS, WINTON IVOR was born in Woking to Salvationist parents and grew up there, joining various sections. He was a keen cornet player and enjoyed this interest in music. He became deputy bandmaster and songster leader.

Ivor married Pauleen and they had three sons, Mark, Neil and Duncan, and lovely grandchildren.

Much of Ivor’s working life was concerned with the welfare of staff and their families; this was also his way with neighbours and friends.

Ivor moved to Winton and enjoyed playing with the Bournemouth Area Fellowship Band, which played at both services when he was promoted to Glory. – P. A.

JOHN DANIELS, STAPLEFORD AS a child John attended Long Eaton with his mother and was commissioned as a YP band member, and then a senior bandsman.

He moved around England with his work and was a bandsman at Barrow-in-Furness, Leicester Castle, Loughborough and, finally, Stapleford in 1979.

He was an accomplished euphonium player and also a valued member of the small group he attended with his wife, Margaret.

John was a faithful servant right up to the time when he was admitted to hospital. He leaves a wife, two daughters and grandchildren. – F. T.

ANDREW STEWART, TUNSTALL ANDREW was born to Salvationist parents and spent his early years at Govan.

Sylvia was promoted to Glory in 1993 and Andrew married Gail Wheaton in 2007, moving to Tunstall Corps to be nearer to their family in 2017.

Andrew worked for most of his life in the insurance and carpet industries. He was a well-loved, principled Christian and a keen and competent musician. – M. H.

KENNETH BURTON, BARNSLEY KEN was born in 1937 to Salvationist parents and went to Cudworth Corps. He started working aged 15 on the railways, and in 1953, at the divisional Easter celebrations, met Jean Grimshaw, a member of Barnsley Singing Company. Ken started his National Service in 1956, becoming a gunner-driver on active service in the RAF regiment in Cyprus.

In 1958 he married Jean and they later had three children and four grandchildren. The family attended Stocksbridge, and then Barnsley Corps. Over the years Ken served as bandmaster, songster leader, band secretary, YPSM and CSM.

He joined the police service in 1966 in Penistone, becoming a community constable in 1983. His rural area covered 11 schools and 26 villages; he served there until he retired in 1992. Ken was an active member of the Blue Shield Fellowship Band and Yorkshire Fellowship Band. He is missed by all who knew him. – J. K.
