Great photo of General Mulcahy, a very interesting man. This is another photo of him.

His son, also called Risteard, wrote an excellent biography of his Dad and his life and times called "My Father The General".
Paul O'Farrell said:
Another very good book about him is "Portrait of a Revolutionary: General Richard Mulcahy and the Founding of the Irish Free State" by Maryann Gialanella Valiulis.

“Wolseley led the belated expedition to relieve General Gordon at Khartoum, 1884-5. Later Commander in Chief of the British Army, he was responsible for important reforms. Wolseley was the model for Major-General Stanley in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta The Pirates of Penzance.”

"... ... Wolseley eventually retired in 1901. But his reputation for efficiency led to the phrase 'everything's all Sir Garnet’, meaning all is in order.

Even then, the cadets stood during the entire game, which was played on November 29, 1913, at the Polo Grounds, in New York City. Army sank Navy and won the game, 22-9.
Pixel Wrangler said:
Isn't that President Woodrow Wilson (talking to the man in the fur coat)?
Wystan said:
Yes, the President did attend the game that day: www.gvsu.edu/hauenstein/index.cfm?id=A34B5ECF-E063-A4F3-B... NYT story on November 14 said that Wilson's family also would be there: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9407E5D7113CE6... The rumpled flag in the photo must indicate the Presidental box. So now we have to figure out who the guy in fur was -- an autograph hound? or a bodyguard in mufti?
Wystan said:
This is fascinating: Dwight D. Eisenhower was a linebacker for Army in the 1912 game (which Army lost, 6-0). If only Ike had stayed around for another year, Wilson could have watched a future President playing ball!
Karen (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks for spotting President Wilson. We'll add the information to the record when we update.
