I've changed a line from a song for the title in this photo from the Mason Collection, but all references to him downstairs are banned in this Mary's house! It would appear that Paterson's produced a large selection of matches, and while today they are not quite as important as they once were, in their time the different types made life easy for those who used them!

Als kind verstond ik
It's a long way to the Prairie
Het kwartje viel tig jaar later toen we met het gezin een vaarvakantie met een motorjacht in Ireland bij een dorpje aankwamen met de naam Tipperary
==========================================
De heren marcheerde richting de tweedekamer waar het boerenprotest plaatsvond ,het liedje schoot mij te binnen.
This wonderful Eason image of a busy day in Nenagh shows the town at its best! Men at work, women out shopping for necessities, street urchins looking for mischief and best of all a dog caught in the act of cocking his leg. What more could you ask for?

3rd Tipperary Brigade.
It seems an odd connection and the story originates on the other side of the world, yet the facts speak for themselves.
The 3rd Tipperary Brigade which was formed during the Irish War of Independence and were constituted as the Irish Republic Army.
The 3rd Tipperary Brigade was the most active of almost 80 such units.
A former Commandant of the 3rd Brigade Richard Doyle is buried in the Catholic Cemetery, Cawdor Road, Camden.
He was just 24 years old at the time of his passing from sunstroke.
Camden, New South Wales, Australia.
The memorial, unveiled on 16 December 2005, has Jack Judge sitting on a granite rock, studying the ‘It's A Long Way To Tipperary’ song sheet, whilst a First World War soldier leans over his shoulder and plays the song on his mouth organ. Jack’s parents were Irish, and his grandparents came from Tipperary. He wrote the song on 30 January 1912, and performed it the next day while appearing at the Grand Theatre, Stalybridge.
The song became popular among soldiers in the First World War and the Connaught Rangers Irish Regiment was seen singing this song as it marched through Boulogne on 13 August 1914. This was then reported in the Daily Mail on 18 August 1914 and the song’s popularity started to grow. In November 1914 it was recorded by the well-known tenor John McCormack, which helped contribute to its worldwide popularity.

Todays Pictures are taken at Tipperary Springs at Daylesford and is at the top end of the Jim Crow Creek. This picture shows the newer style Mineral Water Pump that is now on the East side of the Jim Crow Creek which now makes it easier to access the mineral water for what Tipperary is known for. In the background on the left of the photo is the original spring area which has also had a makeover but to access it, you must use the bridge and walk 100 metres back up stream.
As the bridge has disappeared a number of times over the years due to flood events, I assume this is one reason the pump is now on this side.

Statue in Stalybridge of Jack Judge and a first world war soldier
Today (31/1/12) sees the centenary of the first performance of one of the great songs of World War One.
The song, ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary’ was performed on the stage of Stalybridge’s Grand Theatre by popular musical entertainer Jack Judge. The tune was soon recorded by the famous Irish tenor Count John McCormack and became popular around the world. It is particularly associated with soldiers of the Great War.
It is thought that Judge wrote the song for a bet on the previous evening in a Stalybridge pub. The song is said to have come to him after a fellow customer told him he was leaving as he had a long way to go home. Judge’s family came from Tipperary and so he added the name to the lyric.
In 2005, a statue of Jack Judge accompanied by a soldier was unveiled in the town close to the sight of the first performance of his most famous song.
