WE'LL MEET AGAIN
b/w Later on
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.
