Transfiguration Church in Philadelphia was under construction in 1926. The Parish also constructed a huge parochial school.
100 Krag rifles and a 'cadet corps' are rather surprising features for a Catholic Parish.
I wonder if the 100 Krag Rifles were in a Sedgley/Bannerman "Transfigured" to School Rifles?
(It should be remembered that, before and during the WW1 era, New York Schools, through the Public School Athletic League, had some Krag rifles & carbines, as well as, Sub-Target Gun Machines).
