Not much is known of Godfrey Algernon Hoyland. When Britain declared war on Germany, Hoyland signed up as 2nd Lieut. in the Royal Field Artillery, Special Reserve. Apparently by April the 36th RFA was in France. In 1916 he was awarded the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry for getting rescue party to dig out some men buried when the unit was being heavily shelled. In Nov. 1917, he was hit with mustard gas, and a few days later evacuated to England. He died on of wounds on 3 October 1918. He was buried in the British Cemetery at Grevillers, Departement du Pas-de-Calais.
