Educated at Gresham's School, Holt, and King's College, Cambridge,[1] Daly was ordained as a Church of England deacon and priest in 1923.

In 1944 he led the Gambian contingent attending a Jamboree at Katibougou in the French Sudan (now Mali), jointly organised for Francophone and Anglophone Boy Scouts.
Daly's appointment as Bishop in Korea followed the Korean War of 1950 to 1953, leaving him with major challenges for his mission.
