Photograph from the enlisting form of Christopher Doyle. Photocopy of the Missing Notice from the Evening Herald newspaper where his parents are seeking information on the wherabouts of Christopher Doyle. Death medal of Christopher Doyle.
I became aware of these items when I was a teenager and have been interested since. My grand uncle, Christpoher Doyle joined the Royal Dublin Fusilliers 'C' 2nd Battalion in January 1913. He was promoted to sergeant and was wounded three times. I also have a copy of an article that appeared in the Evening Herald newspaper. It was a Missing Notice that was put in the paper by his parents who were looking for any information on where he might be as he was missing. He died in France on 23rd October 1916. His name is engraved in the Memorial in Thiepval in France and we haven't visited it. I hope to go there some day.
