From the "Catholic Who's Who & Year Book 1915" - full list of the "Roll of Honour" (56 names); (Deaths, Aug. 23 - Nov. 26, 1914)

The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Bois by Fortunino Matania depicting Fr Francis Gleeson, British Army Chaplain (mounted, foreground) on the eve of the Battle of Aubers Ridge, May 1915.

We had hoped to publish this list in January. Better late than never, of course, especially concerning prayers for the lost souls of World War I in these commemorative centenary years.

As already adverted to, Liverpolitanus, as well as being a monitor of events in the Archdiocese of Liverpool, England – particularly concerning the local cause of the restoration of Catholic Tradition and the struggle against the rampant Modernism blighting this part of one of the true original heartlands of English Catholicism – is a blog that will be rich on Catholic history (we have some great and rare resources readily available to draw upon).

One such jewel is our collection of volumes of the "Catholic Who's Who and Year Book".
