Horace Price

[1] He was educated at Rossall School and Trinity College, Cambridge (whence he gained a Cambridge Master of Arts {MA Cantab}),[2] made deacon at Advent 1886 (19 December), by Archibald Campbell Tait, Bishop of London, at St James's, Piccadilly[3] and ordained priest the following year.

He was a CMS Missionary in Sierra Leone then a Curate in Wingfield, Suffolk before serving the Anglican Church in Japan where he eventually became Archdeacon of Osaka.

He was consecrated bishop on Candlemas 1906 (2 February) at Westminster Abbey, by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury.

[5] Although almost 53 years of age, Eyre Price sought a commission as a Temporary Chaplain to the Forces in July 1915.

‘The service was made all the more impressive by the fact it was on the hillside facing the sea and the guns of our warships were thundering all the time.’[8] After Gallipoli, Eyre Price spent time in Alexandria, Malta, Salonika, and Gibraltar, but had periods in hospital suffering from debility, fainting attacks and an irregular heartbeat.
