The E-103 War Graves Register for Lance Sergeant Ernest Hoyles shows that he was buried at Valley Cottages, trench map reference 28.I.23.c.9.6. This is the location of the Valley Cottages Cemetery which was destroyed in subsequent battles and the men are now remembered on the Special Memorials at the CWGC cemetery known as Railway Dugouts Burial Ground (Transport Farm). It would appear that an error was made and Ernest Hoyles name was not included in the list of those to be remembered on a Kipling Special Memorial at the Railway Dugouts Burial Ground.

The front of the Circumstance of Death file for Lance Sergeant Ernest Hoyles notes that he was "Killed in Action" on 3 June 1916 during the attack in the vicinity of Mount Sorrel. He was serving with the 15th Canadian Infantry Battalion (48th Highlanders) at the time of his death. The reverse (or page 2) of the file notes he was buried in Valley Cottage Cemetery, in the immediate vicinity of where the 15th Battalion was on that date. His records show he is named on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, however since his grave site was known and was destroyed in subsequent battles, he should be recorded on a Kipling Special Memorial. The Special Memorials for Valley Cottage Cemetery are currently at the Railway Dugouts Burial Ground (Transport Farm), West-Vlaanderen, Belgium.

MÉMORIAL DE LA PORTE DE MENIN (YPRES) Belgique
Le Mémorial de la Porte de Menin (Ypres) est situé dans la partie est de la ville de Ypres (maintenant Ieper) dans la province de la Flandre-Occidentale, sur la route de Menin et de Courtrai. Il porte les noms de 55 000 hommes disparus sans laisser de traces lors de la défense du saillant d'Ypres durant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Dessiné par Sir Reginald Blomfield et érigé par la Commission des sépultures de guerre de l'Empire (maintenant du Commonwealth), ce Mémorial comprend une salle du Souvenir " longue de 36,6 mètres et large de 20,1 mètres. Au centre se trouve un large escalier conduisant aux remparts qui surplombent les douves et les loggias sur colonnes qui entourent le monument. Sur les murs intérieurs de la salle, du côté de l'escalier, ainsi que sur les murs des loggias, les noms des morts sont inscrits par régiments et par corps sur des panneaux en pierre de Portland.
Au-dessus de l'arche centrale on peut lire en anglais une inscription dont voici la traduction:
AUX ARMÉES DE L'EMPIRE BRITANNIQUE QUI COMBATTIRENT ICI DE 1914 À 1918 ET À LEURS MORTS DONT LA TOMBE EST INCONNUE.
Et, au-dessus de l'escalier qui conduit à la salle principale, on peut lire en anglais une inscription dont voici la traduction :
À LA PLUS GRANDE GLOIRE DE DIEU ICI SONT INSCRITS LES NOMS DES SOLDATS QUI SONT TOMBÉS DANS LE SAILLANT D'YPRES, MAIS QUE LES HASARDS DE LA GUERRE ONT EMPÊCHÉS D'AVOIR UNE IDENTITÉ ET UNE SÉPULTURE HONORABLE COMME LEURS CAMARADES DANS LA MORT.
Chaque jour à 20 h, une cérémonie toute simple rappelle encore aujourd'hui le souvenir des morts. Alors que la circulation est arrêtée à la barrière, deux clairons (quatre dans les grandes occasions) sonnent l'appel aux morts. Les deux trompettes d'argent utilisées durant la cérémonie ont été données au Comité de l'appel aux morts par un officier de l'Artillerie royale canadienne, qui servait dans la 10e batterie de St. Catharines (Ontario), à Ypres, en avril 1915."
