[Fitchman]

What is the video from - is this a serviceman dinner? She is wonderful!

[claritaserranok]

@Fitchman yeah you are right. she´s beautifull

[Eddy2730]

Could the lady performing be Fiona Harrison? I've seen her perform once at the Didcot Railway Centre's Victorian Extravaganza one year.

[DoubleIdentityQC]

I use to listen to PINK FLOYD when i was young and they did a song about her...Vera.

On the album THE WALL.

She had a radioshow to boost the British moral troops, she's still alive.

Born in 1917, big respect for this generation of people who come across so much change in the history of humanity and technologie.

[daridog]

who is she ?

[moonshinerman]

It's called "This is the Army" ...original song by Irving Berlin

[HGtibby]

I got news for you guys - when the ice shelf of greenland melts into the sea and the atlantic conveyer stops blowing the warm air over europe ... you will freeze regardless of being english, scottish, welsh, irish, french, german, polish, etc etc etc nationalism is too small for the world we live in - wake up people.

[oldstuffandcollect]

[heddge28]

[MorrisManDanceMan]

l like this song thanks

[19smokey19]

think she was great, make me proud to be british, i never though england existed anymore..

[Kali1050]

@19smokey19

England still exists, but may not do so for much longer if the libLabCon merchants have their way.

All decent English people must vote properly on MAY 6th and put their X for their BNP candidate.

[19smokey19]

@Kali1050 hi kali damn right ill be voting bnp am with you all the way ..

[ODST226]

[mjw3121]

Wow, she's a cute english chick. And she's even got GOOD TEATH!

[Pinckney12]

Oddly, she looks kinda hot.

[Apophisguard]

I agree.

[moonshinerman]

I dig a chick in uniform, she is sweet. You know us yanks like those English birds

[laurencelake007]

[ha6ni6el6]

I know it's a bit late to answer crazybrave1, but I think "Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye" was Gracie Fields.

[vinyldroppers]

u hero

[notastalker89]

thank you for posting

[krim4142]

Very well done she has a nice voice

[dnl5649]

she does have a nice voice:)

[beefkungpo]

beautiful girl singing.pity about warmongering country

[Scrufflemut]

Shut up, scum.

[peppermintjohn666]

no, he is somewhat right, the sudden switch from appeasement to war caused no end of distress, we either should have ended it in 1936, or not gone in at all.

[peppermintjohn666]

sorry assumed he was a german. bloody irish.

[velidhu2004]

your a knob beefkungpo

[ineedcuervo]

not as much of a pity as your face. obviously

[ewelmcc]

the japs dropped more bombs when they attacked Aussie than they did in Pearl harbour : fact:

[Jonathan6540]

I don't think the Japanese needed to drop that many bombs in Pearl Harbour, the planes were pretty packed in Pearl Harbour. they were pretty caught by surprise.

[residentmagnum]

The Japanese attack was a sneak attack

that is what pissed so many off

This is looked at a dirty way to fight a war

[ignaciojavier2000]

Is the blonde soldier regular Army ? Is she British ?

Very nice girl ?

[vaudevilleUK]

yes, she's RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps)

[DavidTL]

In all, Britain lost over 70,000 civilians during World War 2. My own village containg about 7,000 people lost 3 people during a bomb attack in which 3 bombs fell. The village saw over 100 men leave during WW1 and WW2.

But the British morale never broke and operation Sealion failed. Our true British spirit prevailed and our pride of being British kept up for 6 years.

London was bombed every day ot night for 3 months once. Imagine living through that.

[busbyii]

Just another bit which everybody probably knows: It's Vera Lynn singing "We'll Meet Again" as the voice-over

at the end of "Dr. Strangelove".

[Eastanglianwarrior]

Hang on-Isnt that our Lizzie in Painting behind singer??

She was a truck mechanic when this song was sung..

[remotelywild]

And Australia was in the thick of it too, in Europe and the Pacific. We were there from Sept 1 1939.

Incidentally - there are clips of Vera singing on youtube.

[AdrianGlasgow]

I should actually research it but didnt the Jap's actually invade Australia? It wasnt a successfull one...f**k it im going to double check, you do it, its and order ;)

[mikewoollett]

Yeh they made it into Sydney harbour-2 mini subs were bombed but one escaped or so i think!

[HGtibby]

Wales and Scotland had a rough time of it too you know, it wasnt just Englands war!

[scottishlad1987]

and ireland. but ye i know, i hate it when people use britain in one sentance and england in the next when talking about war. was our sacrifice for nothing?

[HGtibby]

i agree totally ... this doesnt just apply to history - in sport if a team is winning it's "english", if it's losing it's "british" watch out for that one.

[scottishlad1987]

ye and those "british football hooligans" lol.

[englishjac]

fuck you you pig, do we moan when you sing flower of scotland or the land of your fucking fathers? , arsehole

[HGTB08]

you BNP and UKIP supporters are twats, fuck you and be sensible and vote green instead - good luck when the oil and petrol runs out :)

[englishjac]

If i was a UKIP or BNP suppoter and be rooting for Britain wouldnt i, you thick bastard.

[tomdownes1]

The English band Pink Floyd has an album called "The Wall" which contains a song called "Vera Lynn\Bring the Boys Back Home", and contains the line "Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?"

[password1957]

Its nice to know these songs are still around - they meant so much to so many people in an England we can only imagine was like.

[psvs1]

most people don't even know who vera lynn was

[auntiemavis]

I agree, one of our best singers and she's already forgotten? But I hope someone will post a video of her soon.

Mavis, UK.

[AdognamedOp]

I cant believe youtube doesn't have any actual footage of Vera Lynn. She had a great voice and her music was beautiful..
