He was the third son of Matthias and Mary D'Oyly.[1] Commissioned into the 1st Regiment of Guards, D'Oyly served with them during the 1799 Anglo-Russian expedition to the Netherlands in 1799. He returned to the Netherlands in the Walcheren Campaign of 1809. On 2 July 1811, both he and his brother Henry were promoted from captains to majors in the army.[2] On 6 October 1812, he was given command of a company in the Guards as a brevet major after the death of Lt-Col. Colquitt.[3] He then served under the Duke of Wellington in the British Army's campaign in the Spanish Peninsula and France,[1] after which he was made a KCB.[4][5] He again served under Wellington during the Hundred Days and was killed at the battle of Waterloo.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show/conMemorial.58535/fromUkniwmSearch/1 |title=Lt Col Sir Francis D'oyly Kcb |website=Imperial War Museums}} {{DEFAULTSORT:D'Oyly, Francis}}2. ^{{London Gazette | issue=16500 |page=1203 | date=29 June 1811}} 3. ^{{London Gazette | issue=16654 |page=2018 |date=3 October 1812}} 4. ^{{London Gazette | issue=16972 |page=20 | date=4 January 1815}} 5. ^{{London Gazette | issue=16977 |page=103 | date=21 January 1815}} 7 : 1776 births|1815 deaths|Battle of Waterloo|British Army personnel of the Napoleonic Wars|British Army personnel of the Peninsular War|Grenadier Guards officers|Knights Commander of the Order of the Bath |
