The Huns had their revenge a few days later when
the Battalion's billets and Headquarters at Poperinghe
were suddenly, on April 11, shelled just as the Battal-
ion was going into line at Ypres. The thing began
almost with a jest. The Regimental Chaplain was tak-
ing confessions, as is usual before going up, in Poper-
inghe Church, when the building rocked to bursts of
big stuff obviously drawing nearer. He turned to
open the confessional-slide, and smelt gas — chlorine be-
yond doubt. While he groped wildly for his gas-
helmet in the dusk, the penitent reassured him: "It's
all right, Father. I've been to Divisional Gas School
to-day. That smell's off my clothes." Relieved, the
Padre went on with his duties to an accompaniment of
glass falling from the windows, and when he came out,
found the porch filled with a small crowd who reported :
"Lots of men hit in an ambulance down the road."
Thither ran the Padre to meet a man crazy with terror
whom a shell-burst had flung across the street, half-
stripped and blackened from head to foot. He was
given Absolution, became all of a sudden vehemently
sick, and dropped into stupor. Next, on a stretcher, an Irish Guardsman crushed by a fallen wall, reported
for the moment as "not serious." As the priest turned
to go, for more wounded men were being borne up
through the dusk, the lad was retaken by a violent
haemorrhage. Supreme Unction at once was his need.
Captain Woodhouse, R.A.M.C., the regimental doctor,
appeared out of the darkness, wounded in the arm and
shoulder, his uniform nearly ripped off him and very
busy. He had been attending a wounded man in a
house near headquarters when a shell burst at the door,
mortally wounded the patient, killed one stretcher-
bearer outright and seriously wounded two others. The
Padre, dodging shells en route, dived into the cellars
of the house where he was billeted for the Sacred Ele-
ments, went back to the wayside dressing-station, found
a man of the Buffs, unconscious, but evidently a Catho-
lic (for he carried a scapular sewed in his tunic), an-
ointed him, and — the visitation having passed like a
thunder-storm — trudged into Ypres unworried by any-
thing worse than casual machine-gun fire, and set him-
self to find some sufficiently large sound cellar for
Battalion Mass next morning. The Battalion followed
a little later and went underground in Ypres — Head-
quarters and a company in the Carmelite Convent,
two companies in the solid brick and earth ramparts
that endure to this day, and one in the cellars of the
Rue de Malines. <br />
<br />
It was the mildest of upheavals — a standard-pattern
affair hardly noted by any one, but it serves to show
what a priest's and a doctor's duties are when the imme-
diate heavy silence after a shell-burst, that seems so
astoundingly long, is cut by the outcries of wounded
men, and the two hurry off together, stumbling and
feeling through the dark, till the electric torch picks up
some dim, veiled outline, or hideously displays the
wounds on the body they seek. There is a tale of half
a platoon among whom a heavy gas-shell dropped as
they lay in the flank of a cutting beside a road. Their
platoon-commander hurried to them, followed by the
sergeant, calling out to know the extent of the damage. <br />

A Very Gallant Padre - <a href="http://www.greatwarci.net/honour/jersey/database/knapp-ss.pdf" target="_blank">Download</a><br />
<br />
The Reverend Father Knapp. About 200 officers and men of the Irish Guards attended a Solemn Requiem at Whalley Catholic Church on Tuesday morning for the repose of the soul of the Reverend Father Knapp, DSC, MC. Father Knapp had acted as Chaplain to the 2nd Battalion Irish Guards since the beginning of the war and recently died of wounds received while attending the wounded. A number of guardsmen were stationed around the catafalque upon which had been placed the Chaplain's regimental cap, stole and decorations. Father Knapp was awarded the Military Cross last year and the Distinguished Service Order a little later. He was a member of the Carmelite Community and a representative from the Carmelite church at Kensington attended the service.<br />

Jersey Evening Post of Thursday 16 August 1917<br />
<br />
<br />
That's My Call - How a Jersey Padre Died in Flanders. DSO Laid on his Coffin. "He won the VC every time he went ministering to the lads in our advance" so wrote a Presbyterian Chaplain with the Forces in France of Father Simon Knapp, who was killed during the push on 31 July. Father Simon Knapp was perhaps the best known Padre in the British Army, he had served through the Boer War and won the Medal with seven clasps. In the present war he had already won the Military Cross, with which he was decorated by the King, and the Distinguished Service Order, but he had not yet been invested with the DSO when he died and Lord de Vesci, Adjutant of the Irish Guards, laid the decoration on his coffin on Friday. The Army's tribute to his devotion was manifest on Friday when a solemn Requiem was sung in the Carmelite Church in Kensington. A party of Irish Guards, to which Regiment he was attached as Chaplain from the commencement of the war, formed a Guard of Honour with arms reversed around the catafalque "Father Knapp is a great loss to us" said the Father Prior to the Daily Sketch on Friday "we have received letters from Ministers of every denomination and from all ranks from Privates to Generals". From the Father Prior the Daily Sketch learned of the hero's last hours. A fearless man he scorned bullets and always went with an advance to administer to the fallen, the manner in which he escaped death scores of times has been the sole topic in the trenches of the Irish Guards and others on many occasions. In this last advance he was not permitted to go with the boys, his insistence was unavailing but he did the next best thing, he just followed. He quickly came upon a fallen Guardsman and was tending him when he himself was badly wounded in the head. The only words he uttered after being struck were "That's my call", he died a few minutes later. Father Knapp was born in Jersey, his mother was Irish and his father French, he was educated at St Edmunds College and was, in his student days, a brilliant cricketer.<br />

General <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bernard_Hickie" target="_blank">William Bernard Hickie</a> in a letter to a friend said of Fr Doyle:<br />
<br />
Fr Doyle was one of the best priests I have ever met, and one of the bravest men who have fought or worked out here. He did his duty, and more than his duty, most nobly, and has left a memory and a name behind him that will never be forgotten. On the day of his death, 16th August, he had worked in the front line, and even in front of that line, and appeared to know no fatigue – he never knew fear. He was killed by a shell towards the close of the day, and was buried on the Frezenberg Ridge… He was recommended for the Victoria Cross by his Commanding Officer, by his Brigadier, and by myself. Superior Authority, however, has not granted it, and as no other posthumous reward is given, his name will, I believe, be mentioned in the Commander-in-Chief’s Despatch…I can say without boasting that this is a Division of brave men; and even among these, Fr Doyle stood out.<br />
