A RARE WARTIME 78 FROM FORCES FAVOURITE VERA LYNN with Mantovani and his Orchestra

WHEN THEY SOUND THE LAST "ALL CLEAR"

Born in London in 1917, Vera Lynn started her singing career as a young girl and became one of the most famous voices of World War II. She hosted a BBC radio show called "Sincerely Yours" from 1939, and her morale-boosting songs were a favourite among all British servicemen. In 1976, Vera Lynn was made a Dame. Her death this year aged 103, whilst not unexpected was nevertheless a sad loss to the generations that knew and loved her.

When they sound the last all-clear

How happy, my darling, we'll be

When they turn up the lights

And the dark lonely nights

Are only a memory

Nevermore we'll be apart

Always together, sweetheart 

For the peace-bells will ring 

And the whole world will sing

When they sound the last all clear

We've got our troubles and we've got our cares

But as long as we keep smiling through

There'll come a day 

When the clouds roll away 

And the sun will be shining anew

When they sound the last all clear

How happy, my darling, we'll be

When they turn up the lights

And the dark lonely nights

Are only a memory

Nevermore we'll be apart

Always together, sweetheart 

For the peace bells will ring 

And the whole world will sing

When they sound the last all clear
