Born at Waterford, Ireland, on November 13, 1870, he received his education at the Vincentian College of Castleknock. He entered the seminary at Blackrock in 1893 and was ordained on May 27, 1899. After missionary work in Great Britain, he came to the Australian Province in 1911. He continued the work of missions and retreats until in 1914 he enlisted as chaplain with the 1st A.I.F. He landed with the Anzacs, served with them throughout the Gallipoli campaign, and went on to France for the remainder of the war. A shrapnel wound caused him much trouble in the right arm; years later he underwent an operation for the removal of a shell splinter in his shoulder. He was twice decorated; he was beloved by the men, and was a personal friend of the late General Monash. After 1918 he was again on the mission staff in Australia and New Zealand, until ill-health forced his retirement some years ago. He will be remembered still by many for his bright and original speech, and for his simple faith and piety. --- T.W.
