My mum told me once that during the war she used to get all teary every time they played 'White Cliifs Of Dover'.

One verse went:

The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again

My Dad's name was Jimmy and he was away for 31/2 years in  a POW camp.

Wasn't she called The Sweetheart of the Forces?

 

As someone wrote she was a nightingale.

 

My British mum came here to marry towards the end of the war  but was separated from her large family for years.  She was terribly homesick and just loved We'll Meet Again and The White Cliffs of Dover, played them over and over.Vera Lynn was a kind of beacon in her life as she was for so many.
