Dublin omits St Patrick's Day Parades
Dublin on St Patrick's Day avoided large processions as pubs stayed closed and security measures limited public displays. Crowds gathered in OConnell Street with shamrock and Irish jigs while a small Red Cross nurse group and about 200 unarmed home guards led by pipers and drummers marked the occasion amid wartime restraint.

Dublin Town Quiet as Britain Germany Legations Stand
The piece notes a three hour march ending at barracks, Ireland showing strong Allied support with many thousands of Irish sons fighting Nazis. A husky Irish policeman guards the German legation while no guards stand at British or American legations. An air raid warden in a tin helmet is the lone visible arming, and the Wearin’ of the Green is notably missing green neckties in Dublin.
