LIEUT. DOYLE RETURNS HOME
AFTER NEARLY TWO YEARS OF SERVICE WINS WELL DESERVED PROMOTION

   Emmett C. Doyle, a former wellknown and popular Campbellsport boy, has arrived home, after receiving his honorable discharge from service and is now resting up at the home of his sister, Mrs. W. L. Calvey, at Dundee. Emmett's many friends in this vicinity will be pleased to learn that he has risen from the rank of private to second lieutenant, he just having been notified last Friday that on May 1st his long delayed commission had been issued.

JOINED REGULARS

   Lieut. Doyle joined the regular army in Chicago, August 15, 1917, and was sent to Camp Funston, where shortly after his entrance in service he became a sergeant of the 814th field signal battalion. He was qualified to enter the officer's school but did not because he feared that it would delay his going overseas, and he was anxious to get into the fighting.
   Attached to the 89th division, (Wood's) Lieut. Dayle reached France May 28th, 1918. In August, 1918, he was recommended and examined for commission. Nothing further was heard of it until the Argonne drive, when officers received word to the effect that men who were not graduates of officer's schools were not to be promoted except in case of extraordinary and unusual work. Shortly afterward he was again recommended for commission, which was not received because of signing of armistice.
   Lieut. Doyle was with his division in each day of its fighting. Many Fond du Lac men, perhaps 100, were in the 89th division. After a short period at the front area, the division took over a portion of the Lucey sector north of Toul. During the relief he was subjected to a severe bombardment of mustard gas.
