1922

Previously (four years ago!) -

I think it is more likely to be Killing Time as in waiting about.

HOGW 138 is Wilson again, in front of the same window with another officer. Looks like the same time of day, cigarette in hand, thumb in his belt. I think it is the same day - that one is dated Oct 1922.

“Captain Rev. Denis J. Wilson Chaplain to the forces. Army Headquarters. Michael Barracks. Co. Cork” catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000535057

I'm inclined to agree with Niall McAuley that the title of this photo in the catalogue is more to do with waiting around. I know little about warfare, civil war or otherwise, but it strikes me it has ever been 95% hanging around / 5% frantic activity and terror. The titles that Denis J. Wilson gave to the photos in this Hogan-Wilson collection are not dispassionate cataloguer style at all, at all. This is from the press release that accompanied the NLI's 2010 exhibition, Witness to War...

Rev. Wilson composed titles for the photographs, and this text is in bold on the exhibition captions. Any amendments are noted in square brackets, but for the most part his text has not been changed. Rev. Wilson’s bias in favour of the Irish nationalists in the War of Independence, and subsequently for the Free State of the Civil War, can be clearly seen in his choice of captions ... Hogan may also have been biased, or he may have been acting from commercial interests as the newspapers were carefully censored by the Free State government during the Civil War...

No success on this so far ... it occurs to me that "Lady J. Hamilton" could be the name of the young woman, OR the dog. What I've looked at so far ... LOC Prints & Photographs, Chronicling America, Google (search), New York Times archives, Google newspapers and books. Not to be confused with famous model/muse, (Emma) Lady J. Hamilton, late 1800's. [earlier comment seems off-topic]

This could be an early photograph of Lady Rosalind Bingham, who married James Hamilton, 3rd Duke of Abercorn in 1894 IMO. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalind_Hamilton,_Duchess_of_Abercorn They were in the news in December 1922, when James Hamilton was appointed governor of Northern Ireland, s. photos in Evening star. [volume], December 14, 1922, Page 25 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1922-12-14/ed-... (There is some similarity with her granddaughter Lady Moyra Kathleen Campbell-Grove (née Hamilton) as well IMO, s. photo in www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw251257/Lady-...)

B-59,

"This could be an early photograph..."

I forgot to remember that the date a photograph was taken may often bear no relationship to when it maybe have appeared in the Bain News Service!

[Revised}
At first I thought this could be an earlier photo as you suggested. When I look at the photo of Lady Rosalind Bingham in Chronicling America, I note she married James Hamilton, 3rd Duke of Abercorn in 1894.

Thus the photo, below of Lady Katherine Hamilton in 1923 cannot be the same person.

Would she have changed her name from Rosalind to Katherine when she married James Hamilton?

There is a younger photograph of Lady Katherine Hamilton as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon on May 3, 1923, where her age is closer to that of the Bain News Service photograph.

Given the estimated date range of the Bain News Service photo [between ca. 1920 and ca. 1925], would Lady Hamilton be in the news due to her being a bridesmaid in the royal wedding? (I still haven't resolved the "Lady J." vs "Lady K" (Katherine).

"Royal Wedding Group Photograph" May 3, 1923
by Bettmann/CORBIS
03 May 1923: The royal wedding group photograph, with the Duke of York and his bride in the centre. At the left are Lady Mary Cambridge, Lady Mary Thynne, the Hon. Diamond Hardinge, and the Hon Elizabeth Elphinstone, in front. At the right are Lady May Cambridge, Lady Katherine Hamilton, Miss Betty Cator and the Hon. Cecilia Bowes-Lyon, in front.

I agree that the portrait of Lady Moyra Kathleen Campbell-Grove (née Hamilton) bears a stunning likeness! Perhaps there's more to investigate there...

One guess has been: Lady Moyra Kathleen Campbell-Grove (1905-1990) www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q75333142

Pixel Wrangler and Richard Norton: I never pretended that this photo shows Lady Kathleen Hamilton (1905-1990) or Lady Moyra Kathleen Campbell-Grove - I would expressly rule that out. As I wrote, I think it's probably Rosalind Hamilton, née Lady Rosalind Bingham (1869-1958). If so, this photo was taken around 1887.

Emmanuel Patrick MacSwiney, Marquis of Mashanaglass (1871-1945) was born in Paris, his father being an Irish banker and his mother a Polish countess. A gifted linguist, he served on several diplomatic missions for the Holy See, being created a marquis by Pope Leo XIII in 1895. In 1914 he and his family settled in Dublin, where he joined the Irish Volunteers.

The photo is 1922 and would relate to Ireland’s bid to join the League of Nations in Geneva, so doesn’t match the date of MacSwiney’s Papal honour

Suck Diesel Wish all of our photos had names written on the back! Although we'd have a lot less fun here... Thank you for identifying all of our gentlemen today!
