"It's a Long, Long Way From Tipperary."
Marching Through Berlin - The Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O'.
Saying, "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in 'spelling,' Molly dear," said he,
"Remember it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me."
"It's a lone way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go;
It's a long way to Tipperary, to the sweetest girl I know!
Good bye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long, long way to Tipperary, but my heart's right there!"

PC 16th August 1914 (Tuesday) from K. in Paris to Mrs. McCausland,
Cherryvale, Ravenhill Road, Belfast, Irlande - Don't leave here till
Thursday as I had a p.c. from Cousin E. that he wouldn't be in London on
Wednesday. Will send p.c. from there as ? day of return. I
suppose you saw in papers about the underground (yard? - Syd) accidents.
Miss McMullan, Alice & myself were going to the theatre in it when we
reached Place de la Concorde we had to await train coming from other
direction (Versailles). It was very long in coming & we guessed something
was wrong. Miss McMullan saw sparks away up the line & when the train
came in everybody was standing up & rushed out (happily on opposite
platform). The women were shrieking their heads off, and then there was the
sound of an awfully loud explosion, so we ? up the steps to the open air &
finished our journey in a taxi!! I should think Miss McMullan & self were
first out!!! It is in the papers to-day here - am thankful the affair didn't
fall in on top of us, as it has done in other places. The theatre was
rotten. A dreadful thunderstorm yesterday, today's fine.
PC 16th March 1911 from Auntie in Grand Hotel, Auckland, N. Zealand to Miss
McCausland, Cherryvale, Ravenhill Road, Belfast, Ireland - This P.C. will
give you some idea of this lovely Harbour. We are having delightful weather
so far and have not had the heavy showers we had in Sydney. Have you been
having a very gay winter? it is hard to realize it is cold at home when we
have hot weather - it should be cooler here just now as it is near Autumn.
With much love
