corner OF Marquette ana Columbus

days. He was severely wounded on
the morning of Aug. 10 by bullets
from a machine gun. His right leg
and right arm were both badly shot,
and for a while he entirely lost the
use Of his arm and it was feared he
would be paraiy@ed for life.
However, he has now recovered
nicely, and declared he is as tit as
ever in spite OF the army surgeons
verdict that he needs further treat
ment
Private Boyle entered the service
at Camp Grant on oct 4, 1871, and a
short time later he was transferred to
Camp Logan. There he was placed in
Company A, l3lst Infantry, and went
abroad with them in May. One week
after arriving overseas he was sent
into the trenches and remained there
until injured Aug. 8.

the second morning of the heavy fight
ing in the Somme battle, and less
than week later. after passing
through several dressing stations and
base hospitals was started for Eng
land. Upon his arriyel in that coun-
try he was sent to a hospital at Plym-
outh, where he remained until he was
started for home.
Private Whyte. who is son Of Mr.
and Mrs William j. Whyte, 10 Jones
street, left Ottawa with the first large
increment of selects for Camp Dodge
on Sept. IL. 1871 and sailed overseas
in April 1918
He was transferred to the 1S0th In
fantry, 33d Division, in France, and
was fighting with them on Sept. 80, in
the Meuse sector. Wien he received a
machine gun bullet in his right elbow,
which has kept him confined to a hos
pital ever since. His arm is still very
weak from the wound, but he is op-
timistic and cheerful over his injury.
After spending a tive-day furlough in
Ottawa he will have to return to Chi
cago to become a patient at the re-
construction hospital until he receives
his honorable discharge.
Private Whyte was aboard the
Northern Pacific, the transport that
