Sgt. Arthur Hoyle
British Army 7th Btn. Royal Tank Regiment
from:Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
(d.17th June 1941)
My father, Arthur Hoyle, was a regular with the Royal Tank Corps after TA service with the KOYLI's. He was killed in action on the 17th June 1941 with the 7th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment while helping to save some Guards Regiments during Operation Battleaxe. As it happens one of the regiments was the 3rd Coldstreams, the regiment my Grandfather had served with in the Great War.
