'IT'S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY.
BUT 500 GTRMANS GET THERE
"It's a long way to Tipperary," says the British soldiers' song, but the Germans are "right there." Five hundred German prisoners were landed in Dublin the other day and conveyed under escort to Templemore, County Tipperary.
Even the Germans know the tune of "Tipperary," according to a ser-geant-major of the Coldstream Guards. "Our advanced outposts heard one day singing coming from the" German lines and soon made out 'It's a long way to Tipperary.' Our men joined in."
