■>AVar- Major Joseph Creuss Callaghan of the Royal Munster Fusiliers and Royal Air Force.


' ; He found out from the Slonyhurst War Record, and other sources, that Major Callaghan had been shot down as he fought alone against 25 German aircraft. Major Callaghan’s brothers, Stanislaus


and Eugene, also served in the Royal Flying Corps - the forerunner of the RAF - and were also killed in the Great 'War. However, Patrick’s project did not end


there. He was so interested lie persuaded his parents to take him to Contay, on the Somme, to visit Major Callaghan’s grave, where he laid a wreath and left a copy of his project for future visitors. “I was' really interested in Major Callaglian, partly because he went to the


.same school as me, and also because my ■ dad is in the air force,’’ said Patrick.' : “He was very; brave and was known as the ‘Mad Major’ because of his aerial stunts. He died wlien his Sopwith Dolphin


• was shot down in flames. ■ “ I liad lots of feelings when I found his


grave - it’s almost as if I knew him.” His history teacher, Mr Paul Garlington,


said:“ The study of an old-Stonyhurst soldier is a vital part of our history curriculum in Year 7. The children are


1 acutely aware of the fact that these young 'men from a centuiy ago knew Stonyhurst as well as pupils now do. “This research connects young minds


with a difficult and emotive subject, focuses them on the important issues of


rcommemoration and remembrance, and •leaves a profound and lasting memory. Theywill not forget them.” •
