Mulligan's Brigade Officers photo

I have never seen the picture of Mulligan with the other officers of the 23rd. before. The one figure to Mulligan's left and slightly above him looks to be a priest.

Thank you very much for posting this. I also find Mulligan a fascinating character.

Regarding the large decoration Mulligan is wearing, I was wondering if he could have been a member of the Knights of Malta. From what I understand he was a pretty devout Catholic. I believe the decoration is in the shape of what I have seen referred to as a Maltese cross. The present Knights of Malta use a cross that is somewhat different but has the basic eight points. Fire Fighters in the U.S.A. wear a similar cross today.
