I'm suggesting a Philadelphia police man, since that's where McGarrity lived. I think the badge and cap badge looks like some 1920s Philadelphia police photos online.

We have heard of the Irish Brigade before - Roger Casement's plan to recruit Irishmen in German POW camps to fight for Ireland instead. He made an agreement with the Germans in Dec 1914, and managed to get 50 or so men to sign up. I think the plan ended with his death, so this must be in 1915 or early 16.
