Jimmy O'Kielty posed for this photo outside the 'new'
Our Lady Queen of Apostles church at Bishop's Waltham
— now situated in the old Priory grounds, by the side of The Priory cemetery.

"Jimmy Gielty moved on from the Priory in July 1947 -
before my time, but I have been in touch with him for many years.
He sent me the attached picture a few years ago. He was
ordained a WF and later became a chaplain in the US Marine
Corps with the rank of Commander. He changed
his name back to the Irish version : O'Kielty.
 
He is currently Chaplain at a US Catholic university - Christendom College in Virginia."

These'photo files' could now be made into prints — very cheaply, if you use a firm such as Jessops.
