Yankee Has Exciting Time in
British Navy.
ItrvH In Trenches and on Battle
ships, Captured by Garmana and
* Escape*?Brought Home
by Uncle Sam.
I Yonkera, N. Y.?Wilfrid Doyle, the
nineteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Doyle of 166 Valentine lane,
this city, is back at his home here
after seven months of adventure of the
kind that most boys dream about but
?ever experience. He has fought the
Turk In trenches knee deep In water
at the Dardanelles, he has been cap
tared by the Germans In Belgium and
he has stood watch many nights on
the deck of the superdreadnaught
Queen Elisabeth while she patrolled
the North sea enforcing the blockade
against Germany.
The spring fever wearied young
Doyle of the simple pleasures of life
In Yonkers and he ran away from
home. He made his way to Boston,
where he obtained a place as horse
hostler on one of the transports en
gaged In carrying hones to the war
tone In Liverpool be left his ship and
enlisted In the British navy. He had
little trouble (n getting Into the serv
ice, although an alien. He told the
recruiting officer that he was an Irish
hoy. and so he la, aa his name proves.
His enlistment was for the duration of
the war, but after six months of effort
the state department of the United
States plucked htm from the service
af King George at the behest of his
parents. A postal card he wrote to his
mother directly after landing In Liver
pool supplied the clue that led to his
discovery.
Gallipoll. Doyle says. li bow b ahem
Nee end e ruin in the area over which
the Turks have been slowly driven
back by the allies. Not'so much as a
drop of clean water may be obtained
there. The streams and wells have
been polluted by bodies and blood
Doyle arrived at the Dardanelles la
May, soon after the attack on the
Turks had begun. During one period
et heavy pressure he served for 48
hours on land In tfie third line of
trenches. The men of the allied
forces suffered tearfully, he says, at
that time from the rains that flooded
the trenches and the Intense heat that
made lite almost unbearable.
While on this expedition Doyle saw
a Turkish girl sniper captured. A
group of sailors Crdtleved from trench
duty were standing'near a haystack
One of them playfully thrust his bay
onet into the hay. When he drew It
eat It was covered with blood. The
sailors Immediately tore the stack
apart and discovered a young -girl
armed with a rifle In a hollowed space.
Eh# had been oojher knees at a loop
hole when the bayonet point caught
her in the arm. Beside her was found
a supply of food and 35 Identification
disks of the kind worn by all sailors
and soldiers in Britain's service. It
- was the belief of her captors that she
had killed'that many soldiers in the
trenches within range and had then
stolen out and cut their identification
disks from their necks. Doyle re
turned to his ship soon after the girl
was captured and hd did not learn of
her fate.
On board the Queen Elizabeth Doyle
met Corporal Joseph Nicolson, the
only survivor of a regiment of Royal
Scots which was annihilated on April
28. After leaving a transport the sol
diers were taken to the fighting front
on board the Queen Elizabeth. An
hour after arriving, at two o'clock in
the afternoon, the regiment charged.
It was not properly supported and was
annihilated. At five o'clock that af
ternoon a survivor crawled back Into
the trenches. He died later on the way
to England, at Malta. Nicolson was
found wounded 14 hours later. He was
sent aboard the Queen Elizabeth for
hospital treatment apd he and Doyle
became very friendly As sOon as be
' ted sufficiently recovered be was dent
"" back to England
In July (he Queen Elizabeth, wlgi
others of'the newer English battle
ships. was withdrawn from Turklah
waters and placed on patrol doty In
the North pea. While his ship was be
ing overhauled Doyle served tor a
time on the battleship Drake. During
this period, with 60 others, be was
captured on the Belgian coast. The
small landing party was surrounded by
a large number of Germans. They
were captured and marthed a mile In
land to a barbed wire stockade. That
night 20 of them. Including Doyle, es

"Oar position on the plateau had

night by the Italian artillery. We
were able to locate moat of the bat

greatly puszled us.
"The sun was rising behind the mist

Captain I-aytos was already peering
through his teleseope. His high coat

throat and ears from the cold, and bla
hands were buried deep In hla pock

has been twice wounded, and has Just
been granted a six-weeks' leave, but
he refuses to leave hla battery. He is
an ideal soldier, his cheat Is covered
with decorations and he now com
mands the battery.
"He comes down from bis position,

and asks about the house. It stands
about one hundred meters to the left,
near the cross roads, and was paint
ed white a few months ago.
" 'Look through the glass and tell
me if you see anything strange about
It,' said the captain.
"It Is not all white; here and there
it :s marked by what appear like dark
spots.'
"' 'Precisely.' said the captain. "That
is where this battery Is located. The
Italians have placed their guns In the
rooms of that house. 3ut we'll II x

"Captain Laytos and Lleutenanjt
Wphler study the map. figuring out
the distance. The elevation and angle
are given over the teleacope wire. The
captain bands me a cigar.
"'You have time to light a cigar,'
he says, 'before we Ore We shall Ore
in thtrty-flVe seconds. Take a look
through the glass and see the result.'
"Captain Laytoa takes out his watch
and begins to count the seconds as
1 look through the teleacope. I see
the white house bathed In the morn
ing sunshine, and I see also on the
road leading to It a wagon creeping
along. ' I feel like crying out to the
wagon party to get under cover, and
almost simultaneously 1 hope that our
shells will get them. The captain Is
at his post looking through the tele
scope next to mine. 1 hear the order
given to lire and at once there Is a
roar that shakes the whole mountain.
" 'We have hit the mark!' shouts
tbe captain.
"Almost a minute elapses before
the smoke disappears. I look again
through the glass. The white house
is gone: all 1 can see la a hole In
the earth where it stood and the bare
trunks of a few trees still standing.
? " That was good work,' said the
captain, handing me a cigarette, 'it
was the 1.200th shot of Our Richard, as
we call this battery, so named after
Lieut. Richard Karner, who fell In bat
tle a few weeks ago. This same bat
tery was at Liege, at Antwerp, In
France and f don't know where else.

"Beuer, a sturdy young chap, tanned
by the sun. heard his name mentioned
and came forward.
" 'Again, I do not see you wearing
your Iron Cross and your medals.'
" 'Sorry, captain, but I haven't
enough room for them.'
"And later, when the enemy ceased
