EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the trio of men responsible for bringing the rousing tune of 'It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary' to the masses during World War I. From left to right, we see Jack Judge, part-composer and author, Harry Williams, part-composer and author, and Mr. Bert Feldman, the publisher. Taken in 1915, the song had already achieved remarkable success, with over two million copies sold in Great Britain and nearly three million in the United States. Before the war, 'It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary' struggled to find an audience and a publisher. However, the tune's infectious melody and patriotic lyrics resonated deeply with British soldiers at the front and in training, becoming a symbol of morale and unity. The song's popularity soared, and it was soon sung by troops on both sides of the Atlantic. The photograph captures the camaraderie and collaboration between the three men, who played a crucial role in bringing this iconic piece of music to the world. Their collective efforts helped to lift the spirits of soldiers and civilians alike during a time of great hardship and uncertainty. Today, 'It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary' remains a cherished part of World War I history and a testament to the power of music to bring people together.
