15 December 1917: More praise for Fr Doyle

On this day in 1917, Major General Hickie paid another tribute to Fr Doyle. Writing to his father, Hugh Doyle, General Hickie said:

I could not say too much about your son. He was loved and reverenced by us all; his gallantry, self-sacrifice, and devotion to duty were all so well known and recognised. I think that he was the most wonderful character that I have ever known.

    Father Doyle, you gave all to Christ in serving His sons in battle. Please pray for all in the military around the world, and for the many innocents they are seeking to protect. May your example encourage all of us to live a life of charity and self-sacrifice even in the midst of hardship and danger.
