== Trivia ==
*This marks the only on-screen appearance of Duke's, Martin's favorite bar. Martin eventually finds a new hangout: McGinty's.
ALLUSIONS
*The title is based on the song "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" a popular early 19th century Irish traditional anti-war song.
*At the end of the episode, Niles talks about why it's not ok to tear down Duke's. He says "Is it really ok? I think not! Because today it's Duke's. But tomorrow, it's Moe's." A possible reference to Moe's Tavern from The Simpsons, on which Kelsey Grammer has a recurring role as "Sideshow Bob".
CONTINUITY
*When Martin invites Frasier and Niles down to Dukes, he introduces them to Duke as if they had never met him before. However, in First, Do No Harm, Frasier and Niles talk about spending time with Duke and his daughter Marie when they were kids.
