Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?

[Tobra]

You know, from The Wall by Pink Floyd

She passed away. I guarantee you have heard her sing.

Another veteran, Mervyn Kersh, told The Associated Press that he remembered her beauty and her voice. But more importantly, he remembered a message that resonated with troops far from home.

"She sang songs which expressed feeling, with lyrics which were very meaningful for me and, everyone I knew, as they expressed the sentiments and hopes of a generation from the disaster of Dunkirk, the Blitz, North Africa and the long wait until Normandy," Kersh told The Associated Press. "I am very sorry to learn that she has gone, but thankful for the 103 years she gave us."

Only exposure I had was this song at the end of Dr. Strangelove when the atom bombs were exploding.

However, I asked several peeps older than me today and they knew the song well.

My Dad said "It is an old standard"

Yeah, the one I posted made me cry.

I just heard about it today, felt it warranted its own thread.

remember my parents listening to her sing.

When I was growing up she lived a couple of streets away
Her husband Harry Lewis formed The Squadronaires, a wartime band of RAF musicians, and they played to the troops all over the place.
