Geoffrey William Vanderbyl Hopley (9th September 1891-12th May 1915) was an English cricketer who played First-class cricket for Cambridge University and Free Foresters[1][2]. Hopley was born in South Africa, the younger son of Judge William Musgrave Hopley and his wife Annie (née van der Byl). Following in the foot steps of his brother John Hopley, he completed his schooling in England, at Harrow School before going up to Cambridge University, where he studied at Trinity College. His cricket was cut short in 1915 when he was killed during World War I whilst serving as a 2nd Lieutenant with the 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards. He died in a military hospital, with his mother by his side, at Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais after being severely wounded whilst fighting in Flanders[3]. He played 15 first-class matches, winning his Cambridge blue in 1912 in the University Match at Lord's (8–10 July)[4], having made his First-class debut for the University against Surrey at Fenner's on 8 May 1911[5] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/30/30366/30366.html|title=GWV Hopley Profile and Scorecards}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hopley, Geoffrey}}{{England-cricket-bio-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/14941.html |title=GWV Hopley Profile}} 3. ^{{Cite |title=Wisden on the Great War: The Lives of Cricket's Fallen 1914-1918 | ISBN=978-1408832356}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/8/8781.html |title=Scorecard for University Match at Lord's on 2012}} 5. ^{{Cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/8/8367.html |title=Scorecard for Cambridge University v Surrey, 8th May 2011}} 6 : 1891 births|1915 deaths|English cricketers of 1890 to 1918|Cambridge University cricketers|English cricketers|Free Foresters cricketers |
