NYC, Times Square, Father Duffy Statue, 1937

Men looking at Father Francis P. Duffy statue (still wrapped) by Charles Keck. Francis Patrick Duffy (May 2, 1871 - June 27, 1932) was a Canadian American soldier, Roman Catholic priest and military chaplain. He served as chaplain for the 69th Infantry Regiment (Fighting 69th), a unit of the New York Army National Guard largely drawn from the city's Irish-American and immigrant population. He served in the Spanish-American War (1898), but it is his service on the Western Front in France during WWI (1917-18) for which he is best known. Duffy, who typically was involved in combat and accompanied litter bearers into the thick of battle to recover wounded soldiers, became the most highly decorated cleric in the history of the United States Army. Duffy Square, the northern half of New York City's Times Square between 45th and 47th Streets is named in his honor. The statue, was dedicated on May 2, 1937.
