    There's an interesting mix of uniforms & civilian clothes in this picture. The date of the picture would suggest that this might have been part of the Battle of Kilmallock.

    A Google image search finds a version in the University College Dublin, Desmond Fitzgerald photographs, with this blurb - " Photograph by W.D. Hogan of three Irish Free State Army soldiers, two members of a medical corps, tending the leg of a wounded man; one soldier is supporting the man's head; the wounded man is dressed in civilian clothes but is possibly wearing a gun belt.

    A quick look at marriage records suggests he didn't spell his name Donahue as in the catalogue.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons “Donahue is the Americanized version of Irish surname Donohoe, which, in turn, is an Anglicized version of the ancient Irish name "Donnchadh" (sometimes "Donncha")”

    “Donoghue or O'Donoghue is an anglicised form of the Irish language surname Ó Donnchadha or Ó Donnchú”
