The day after the Canadians attacked Vimy Ridge my battalion of
the Royal Fusiliers advanced from Bully Grenay to a château on the
outskirts of Lieven under heavy shell fire.
[Illustration: "Tipperary!"]
At the back of the château a street led to the main road to the town.
There, despite the bombardment, we found a Cockney Tommy of the Buffs
playing "Tipperary" on a piano which had been blown out of a house into
the road.
We joined in--until a shell took the top off the château, when we
scattered!--_L. A. Utton, 184 Coteford Street, Tooting, S.W._
