When Kitchener visited the lines at Gallipoli in November 1915, he was accompanied by a number of other senior officers with Australian General Birdwood guiding.
Kitchener pictured in the centre with the wolly moustache, just behind General Maxwell's left shoulder. Maxwell was in charge in Egypt at the time but would find himself moved on and available in London at the time of the Easter Rising.
Maxwell second left in this picture at the same spot in the line. Presumably no snipers operating in the area.
Maxwell in the same uniform pictured in the grounds of Trinity College, Dublin for the review of the Irish Association of Volunteer Training Corps members, St John Ambulance etc in May 1916
Maxwell can also be seen in this film clip linked to the above mentioned review :
