First World War chaplains

Sir, – Although we can't solve the mystery of the first World War painting The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Boi ("Painting of first World War blessing stirs memories", August 23rd), it may interest your readers to note that Rev Gleeson's class photograph and matriculation information can be found in the archive of St Patrick's College, Maynooth.

The exhibition “Maynooth College 1914-1918” in the Russell Library showcases this and other fascinating material. – Yours, etc,

HUGH MURPHY,

Senior Librarian,
