Walter Hoyland and Vida, nee Roulstone, with daughters about 1917
Walter's military career began when he served in the Yorkshire Dragoons for one year. The Dragoons were a volunteer cavalry regiment and Walter is known to have ridden when at home too. When courting his future wife, Vida Roulstone, he used to ride his horse from his home in Penistone to visit Vida at her home in Wortley.
During the First World War, Walter enlisted in the army in December 1915 and was a reserve until he was mobilised in May 1917. This was probably due to his disabilities detailed in his WW1 pension records. He suffered deafness as a result of brain fever (meningitis) which he had in 1901 when aged 19. He was totally deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other. His record describes him as 5ft 11 1/4 inches tall with brown hair. It would seem that he'd also had an accident at some stage of his life which had left him with further disabilities to add to the deafness. He was described as having a scar on the right hip and right shin and an old fracture of the right ankle with deformity of the foot. Consequently he had only been able to do a few light fatigue duties. On 21st January 1918 he was discharged from the army - no longer physically fit for war service.
