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

Magnifica!

So much nicer without the railings. Isn't the statue in Australia now?

Is it a boer war memorial or is there just a sleepy soldier under it for fun?

And speaking of fun, there should be bronze knockers on the doors to facilitate our senses of humour.

Bronz Knockers indeed ! we are getting ideas above ones station. We only had Brass Knockers in Dublin, the bronze ones were right clangers.
