NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS

PRIVATE ROBERT M DOYLE

CANADIAN MACHINE GUN CORPS

8TH AUGUST 1918 AGE 25

BURIED: CAIX BRITISH CEMETERY, SOMME, FRANCE


Robert M Doyle was an American citizen who on 7 March 1917 enlisted in the Canadian Machine Gun Corps, the same day that he separated from his wife Georgia "by mutual agreement". They had been married for seven months.
His father, living in Louisville, Kentucky, chose his inscription and one has to assume that he was quoting his son's own words: "I will be equal to any duty required of me no matter what it costs".
