PhilB Posted 22 December , 2004 Share Posted 22 December , 2004 Thanks, michael. I notice a couple of points. Only officers have their ranks shown & Finn is described as the first chaplain killed in the war on 25/4/15. I find that surprising! Or do they mean the first Ushaw chaplain?

michaeldr Posted 23 December , 2004 Author Share Posted 23 December , 2004 Phil, Father Finn was the first Chaplain to be ‘Killed-in-Action’ in WWI; he landed with his regiment, the 1st Batt., Royal Dublin Fusiliers, at ‘V’ Beach, Helles, Gallipoli, on 25th April 1915 and died that same day while tending the wounded there. He was not however the first chaplain to die in the war; as far as I am aware, Cannon Robert Basil Gwydir OSB of Douai Abbey and St. David’s Priory, Swansea, was the first chaplain of any faith in all services to die in WWI. He died on 30th October 1914 when the Home Fleet Hospital Ship ‘Rohilla’ went down in a storm off Whitby. You are correct about the omission of details in certain cases and it is regrettable, however this Roll of Honour was produced very soon after the armistice and then meant for a limited readership.

michaeldr Posted 31 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2006 PPS; before the corrections pour in, Pugin assisted Barry on the HoP See - At the outset Barry called in Pugin (1836-37) to complete his half-drawn plans, and he further entrusted to him the working plans and the entire decoration (1837-52). Pugin's own statement on the subject is decisive: "Barry's great work", he said, "was immeasurably superior to any that I could at the time have produced, and had it been otherwise, the commissioners would have killed me in a twelve-month" (i.e. by their opposition and interference).
