    'Nah-pooh' is in the lyrics to that song 'Good-byee', isn't it? "Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin; nah-poo, toodle-oo, good-byee..."

    There was one General and two Stationary Hospitals at Genoa. The first in a large hotel, the others in schools. Two of them already had patients and the other was being put in order. As there was no heating in the hotel, the building was intensely cold; it was, however, a very fine hotel with a marble staircase and beautiful baths, though at the time the baths were of little use, as there was no hot water. In the schools were some stoves which the patients thoroughly enjoyed. Later on we had an Infectious Hospital at Genoa, also a very nice hostel for sisters coming from the United Kingdom or moving about the country.

    Possibly - www.dib.ie/biography/dawson-william-richard-a2447 "... During the 1914–18 war, he served in the RAMC, gaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel* (1917), as a specialist in ‘nerve disease’ to the troops in Ireland (1915), subsequently became president (1917) of the Special Medical Board which dealt with psychiatric problems among servicemen, and later assisted in organising the Home of Recovery, Leopardstown Park, Co. Dublin. Demobilised in 1920, he was appointed (1922) neurologist and chief medical officer at the Northern Ireland Ministry of Home Affairs, and retired in 1929. ..." * Lieutenant-colonel insignia is a pip and a crown as seen.

    He was an accomplished man. Thom's Irish Who's Who [1923} has a biography including this - Recns.: Mountaineering fishing, photography. Res.: 26 Windsor Park, Belfast. Clubs: Ulster, Belfast; University, Dublin; Swiss Alpine, London and Geneva. See - en.wikisource.org/wiki/Thom%27s_Irish_Who%27s_Who/Dawson,... And his books - en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:William_Richard_Dawson I imagine this photo is between 1917 (when he became a Lt. Colonel) and March 1920 (when he was "demobilised" from the army)
