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.

possibly not "Red Cross" as one of them is definitely in military uniform - first sighting (!) of army medical corps ...

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.

25 July 1922 was a Tuesday. On the previous Tuesday, 18 July, Mr Hogan was in Dublin with a makeshift ambulance -

This was taken on the same day (25 July) - it might provide more clues - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000194509

Reminds me of a cuckoo clock!

On the OSI 25" there are two large blocks of buidlings listed as granaries facing on to the waterfront just downstream of the ferry crossing. Clear view of any boats coming upstream from Queenstown (Cobh) and control of the east side of the ferry crossing and plenty of space to billet troops. Modern day view on earth view show apartment block and carpark. If this is the place Morning Mary it is for the NLS folder.

In the NLI Fergus O'Conor collection There is a photo on page 5 Title Passage West -taken from a distance. It shows these granaries Like OSI 25" link. I cannot get it to link to that photo it wants to copy whole file.

Other press reports say that 5 of the 7 members of the delegation were Quakers.

In order that the truth of the existing conditions in Ireland should be known, the Committee sent a delegation of American citizens, all of whom were members of the religious Society of Friends, to make an impartial investigation and ascertain to what extent the American Committee might be called upon for aid. The delegation consisted of Messrs. R. Barclay Spicer, Phila- delphia, Pa. ; Oren B. Wilbur, Greenwich, N. Y. ; Philip W. Furnas, Canby, Ind. ; William Price, Philadelphia, Pa.; John C. Baker, Everett, Pa.; and Walter C. Longstreth, Philadelphia, Pa. They were accompanied by Messrs. C. J. France, Seattle, Wash., Chair- man, and Samuel D. McCoy, New York City, Secretary, and arrived in Ireland on February 12, 1921. Their report, which is printed in full on pages 62 to 67, was used as the basis of the amount of relief work that the Committee might have to furnish. archive.org/details/irelandcommitt00amerrich/page/48/mode... So if that's them, we're missing a few.

At the annual meeting of the Irish Agricultural Organization Society in Dublin on March 22nd last, at which Mr. France was present, the annual report was submitted. So possibly March 1921?
