Product Information

As Ireland recovers it's lost memories of World War One, among those coming to light is the painting entitled 'The Last Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Bois, 8th May 1915' Painted in 1915 by the Italian artist, Fortunino Matania, is one of the most famous and evocative Irish related paintings of the War. It depicts the Catholic Chaplain of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers giving a General Absolution to the men of the Battalion at dusk on the eve of the Battle of Aubers Ridge which took place on the 9th of May, 1915. In front of a wayside shrine on the Rue du Bois, the priest, Father Francis A. Gleeson, is on horseback, to his left, also on horseback, is the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Munsters, Colonel Victor G. H. Rickard. On foot directly behind Father Gleeson, the Adjutant, Captain Thomas W. Filgate, stands next to the shrine with his rifle slung over his shoulder. To the Chaplain's right and a few feet away from Filgate, with his rifle in front of him on the ground, stands the Regimental Sergeant-Major, John Ring. All four figures stand to face some of the men of A Company of the 2nd Munsters. The painting is a lasting memorial to the Battalion. It was also, no doubt at the time, of great propaganda value to the recruitment of young Irishmen and yet it also struck a chord in homes all over Munster and elsewhere. Copies of the painting were widely distributed in newspapers both in the U. K. and Ireland from 1915 onwards and many ended up framed over mantelpieces in family homes. It is said that, prior to the 1916 Rising, a copy of the 'Last Absolution' hung in nearly every home in Munster where the name of Father Gleeson was well known along with that of the Regiment that he blessed. Over time, however, the memory of both the priest and the Royal Munster Fusiliers has faded until now, at the centenary, and as they are re-discovered, the question again arises - who were these men? The following is the story of the men of the 'Last Absolution' in the first year of the war and the woman behind it.
