Doughty-Wylie, who had spent a number of years in Turkey (*) as a soldier-diplomat and loved the Turkish people, could not bring himself to bear arms against them and led the attack armed only with his cane, cheering and encouraging the men forward with no regard to his own safety.  The troops swept on to the summit of Hill 141, where Doughty-Wylie was killed.  He was buried where he fell; after the war, the Turks insisted that their honoured friend should remain alone at the scene of his final victory.
