A Catholic Mass in the O'Reilly Chapel, possibly for Christmas Eve. Note the P.O.W.'s and M.P.'s in the front two pews on the right side and the tinsel Christmas trees to either side of the altar area. There were a number of Axis prisoners of war held in a special area of O'Reilly for medical treatment. Undated.
