Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks

One of the eight sons of William Henry and Eliza Jane Moyle, of Neilborough near Bendigo in Victoria, who served in the AIF. There were seventeen children in the family. The last to enlist, James Moyle, died aboard a transport ship on his way to the war in late 1918, from complications caused by Spanish flu, and he was buried at sea only three weeks before the Armistice.
