O Ireland isn't it grand you look--
Like a bride in her rich adornin?
And with all the pent-up love of my heart
I bid you the top o' the mornin!
-John Locke
News poster, Irish Independent, 1941. On 2nd and 3rd January 1941, German bombs were dropped on Dublin, either to offload bombs ensuring planes were lighter for return flight, or because of navigator error.  Despite injuries and property damage, nobody was killed in the bombings.
