Mention in Despatches London Gazette 25.9.1916.
The Rt. Reverend John Winthrop "Jack" Crozier, Lord Bishop of Tuam, Killala and Achonry, was born in 1879, the son of a future All Primate of Ireland, and completed his education at Trinity College, Dublin. Ordained in 1903, he was variously Curate of Seapatrick, Naas and Killashee, and St. Ann's in Dublin, prior to the outbreak of hostilities. Gaining appointment as a Chaplain 4th Class in the A.C.D., he was landed in Gallipoli in early July 1915 and served with the 10th Irish Division with distinction. At least one history makes reference to his calmness under fire, not least on the occasion when he addressed the Division prior to an attack on Hill 60 - 'Bullets of snipers were whistling overhead and ploughed furrows through the ground as the men knelt in prayer and listened to the message of peace'. Mentioned in Despatches by General Murray of the Salonika Army in September 1916, Crozier returned home in the same year to take up appointment as Rector of Celbridge in County Kildare. Returning to St. Ann's in Dublin in 1921, he was afterwards Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin and Archdeacon of Dublin. Crozier finally retired as a Lord Bishop in 1957 and died in February 1966. In youth a 'wild' young man, he had ended up in hot water for climbing the spire at Trinity College, Dublin (accompanying letter refers).
