Commander (retired) Edward Blake Hoyle (28 September, 1888 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Hoyle gained two and a half months on passing out of Britannia and he was sent to join the Triumph on 15 September, 1904. He served in her for about a year before 9 October, 1905 when he was deemed unfit for further service due to "stammering". His name was removed from the list of officers on the 17th. This decision, however, was placed in abeyance for three months from 1 November, in hopes that treatment for the speech defect might render Hoyle suitable for the Navy. The medical officer in Albemarle was to deliver the verdict, and Hoyle's father was informed that this would be the final adjudication on the matter. In May of 1906, the report indicated that the stutter had been much reduced and that a complete cure would be likely. Hoyle was dealt a new hand.[1]
Hoyle applied for service in destroyers in August 1909 and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 September, 1909.[2]
Hoyle was appointed Lieutenant & Commander in first-class torpedo boat T.B. 33 on 4 March, 1912.[3]

World War II
In late August 1938, he was appointed as E.D.O., Stromness.
On 7 November, 1941, he was appointed X.D.O., Kirkwall vice Corbett.
On 27 August 1942 he was appointed to Tana, additional, soon to take command and as Maintenance Captain on Staff of Flag Officer, East Africa and Zanzibar, vice Faulkner, being granted the acting rank of Captain while holding this appointment. Other difficult to read African appointments ensued.
