Mr. Keogh with multiple images on a contact sheet of Rev. W. Doyle provides todays image. Those of us who got married in the days of film will remember poring over sheets of these images trying to choose those we would use or have included in the "Absolutely Essential" wedding album. An album which was looked at soon after the wedding and gathers dust ever since:-) Who was Rev. W. Doyle and what can we find out about him?

25th July 1917. A Soldier shows his gratitude to Fr. Willy. "One of my men, belonging to the Irish Rifles, of which I have charge also, passed by. We chatted for a few minutes and then he went on, but came back shortly with a steaming bowl of coffee which he had bought for me. ‘ I am not one of your flock, Father,’ he said, ‘ but we have all a great liking for you.’ And then he added: ‘If all the officers treated us as you do, our lives would be different.’ I was greatly touched by the poor lad’s thoughtfulness, and impressed by what he said: a kind word often goes further than one thinks, and one loses nothing by remembering that even soldiers are human beings and have feelings like anyone else." williedoyle.org/25-july-1917-a-soldier-shows-his-gratitud...

His receipt of the Military Cross for bravery at the Somme reflected his deep humility, yet his natural enthusiasm for the. pleasure it gave his father. "Nothing of very great interest happened during the next two days, and I had only one narrow escape, from an eight-inch shell, which got so terrified at the sight of a Jesuit in khaki that it exploded." Such is but a typical example of Father Doyle's humorous brushing over of hardships and near-death. From a 1948 review of 'Merry in God' trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/146664985?searchTerm=F...
