This is Richard (Risteárd) Mulcahy being filmed by Gordon Lewis, cameraman with Pathé Gazette. There are, however, a couple of issues with this photo from our Independent Newspapers Collection.
We have two versions of this shot. This one is dated 1919. An identical one is dated 1923. Mulcahy is described as "General", a designation he did not have until the 1920s, and his appearance in civilian clothing ties in with a 1919 dating.
