James L. Boyle was a Convention Officer for the Second American Expeditionary Forces trip to Paris in 1927. The trip was organized for the ten year anniversary of America's entry into World War I. About a month prior to their September 9th departure, Boyle sent out a letter to all the traveling veterans regarding the final preparations for the trip. He addresses the departure date, final applications, payments, and luggage.

Boyle worked in the office of the Adjutant General Department located in Waterville.
