berlin got destroyed as well, innocents where killed, bombing highly populated civilian areas should be banned under international law - meet your enemy on the battlefield I say.
@Mudinmo Strangely, one of her most popular and very English songs, (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover, were written by Nat Burton and the melody by Walter Kent - Burton was an American who had never been to Dover, and is why he pictured the (unlikely) scene of bluebirds flying over the cliffs But, for all that, is was her most popular song.
@Mudinmo Sadly, those words are no longer true and the once great England is now being defeated from within, by traitors in government, such as Blair and Brown, who opened the floodgates to aliens and destroyed the country with the fatal Politically Correct' and multiculterism nonsense.
We had a closeness with our family and neighbours and all helped each other.
Wonderful fresh vegetables and fruit, as almost every back garden was turned into vegetable plots. "Dig For Victory" was very true.
Even some bomb sites were used as allotments for growing things.
Laughed a lot, even when the bombs were falling. Too young to know better, probably. Plenty of sing songs around the old upright piano. Mum was a good pianist.
Mollynolan 1. What kind and feeling words from you. Thank you.
Yes, it was rough, but we were happy in our own way. I was six when the war started, so had to go to school. Our school was bombed. It blew up the school air raid shelters. Luckily, it happened at 2:30 in the morning, so the school was empty.
All the suffering. It must have been terrible for the people. They were wonderful they way they built up the cities again after the war. Wonderful, wonderful people. God bless them.

I'm 76 now, but lived in Hayes, Middlesex and we had two, or three airfields around us. Heston, Northolt and another one.
Plus the ICI chemical factory and Royal Ordnance stores. We were a happy target for the Luftwaffe on many occasions.
StopULosingHair. Well I'm not too politically correct. The enemy is named Islam. and this phoney cult has declared war on the west. A war that has been going for 1,400 years, but dolts like Obama can't, or wont? (Wonder why?) tell us it's ISLAM.
I have a copy of that photo of the Heinkel He 111 over the Thames on my wall. On the photo I can see the roof of my building, which was badly damaged by a bomb.

I'm sorry for being this terribly ignorant, but could anyone direct me to the source of this song?

@Mudinmo This song, 'When The Lights Go On Again' was such a relief after six years of war with the blackout and no street lights.
She sang many popular songs then and helped us all keep smiling and hoping.

@Mudinmo The lyrics of The White Cliffs of Dover.
There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after
Tomorrow when the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again

And Jimmy will go to sleep

There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait…and see!

@Mudinmo The American writer and poet Alice Duer Miller (1874-1942) also wrote a long poem called The White Cliffs - this is the first verse:
Onjrgc 1 year ago
@Mudinmo I have loved England, dearly and deeply,
Since that first morning, shining and pure,
The white cliffs of Dover I saw rising steeply
Out of the sea that once made her secure.
I had no thought then of husband or lover,
I was a traveller, the guest of a week;

@Mudinmo Yet when they pointed 'the white cliffs of Dover',
Startled I found there were tears on my cheek.
I have loved England, and still as a stranger,
Here is my home and I still am alone.
Now in her hour of trial and danger,
Only the English are really her own.

Good and bad memories, but we then knew who our enemy was.
Today, it is too 'politically incorrect' to mention it.
