 Duquesne's story was that he returned to Europe, posed as the Russian Duke Boris Zakrevsky in 1916, and joined Kitchener in Scotland.While on board HMS "Hampshire" with Kitchener, Duquesne signalled a German submarine that then sank the cruiser, and was rescued by the submarine, later being awarded the Iron Cross for his efforts.Duquesne was later apprehended and tried by the authorities in the U.S. for insurance fraud, but managed to escape again.
