This is a photograph of "the silhouettes of Frs. Walsh and Kreamer beside the pagoda on the mountaintop at Fushun. That's the sun, picture was taken on a dull cloudy day." Born in Connecticut, Fr. Walsh came to Maryknoll in 1931 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1933. He was assigned to work in Japan but after six months transferred to Maryknoll's Japanese and Korean mission in Antung, Manchukuo where he served for eight years. During World War II he was interned by the Japanese and repatriated to the United States from Fushun, Manchukuo in 1942 aboard the "Gripsholm". In 1945 he worked with the Japanese in the relocation camp at Heart Mountain, Wyoming. He spent the rest of his days working in Japan and Korea.
