| Description | Cardinal Bourne standing in the entrance to a church. Painted above the doorway are the words 'Catholic Church.' According to the photograph's original caption, the church is actually a converted barn. A group of uniformed men, most of whom appear to be army chaplains, are standing outside. Most of the men are wearing large overcoats to combat the rain and cold. The Cardinal is looking directly at the camera for this posed shot, believed to have been taken by John Warwick Brooke. [Original reads: 'CARDINAL BOURNE VISITS IRISH TROOPS AT THE FRONT. The Cardinal outside the Catholic Church of the Irish Brigade. It had been a barn.'] |
