Before his discharge, Irving toured around France singing, with his beautiful tenor voice, in army shows for the troops. This was during his last few months of service. He loved it because he got out of latrine duty. In 1917 Berlin was drafted into the army, and the news of his induction became headline news: "Army Takes Berlin!" one paper read. However, the army only wanted Berlin, now aged 30, to do what he knew best: to write songs of patriotism. Hence, while stationed at Camp Upton in New York, Sergeant Irving Berlin composed an all-soldier musical revue titled "Yip Yip Yaphank", written to be patriotic tribute to the United States Army. Billed as "a military mess cooked up by the boys of Camp Union," The show was produced on Broadway, The following summer, with Berlin's fellow soldiers filling the cast. It also included a number of hits, including "Mandy" and "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning," which he performed himself. The shows earned $150,000 for a camp service center.
He died at the age of 35 of an embolism, in Newhaven, CT hotel while on business as a Surgical Garment Salesman.
