one dislike? who sent you and who are you working for?! omg. this song is so nice!

[24michiganironbrigad]

This can't be in Normandy. The Tommies are carrying earlier version Enfields and early war gas mask bags. 

[operamichael]

Great stuff.

[millystack]

Lol it's the song from Eye Toy.

[BelleVue1969]

Turned out nice again,heehee,heehee.

Get in touch. I just got a banjo Uke today with the genuine original GF 1938 song sheets. I'll get them to you somehow (scan and email perhaps ?). I also live 11 miles from where GF came from and a proper Lancashire lad, LOL.

[BOT101st]

Acctually looks like hes out in Dunkirk due to what the soldiers are wearing, early war (1939 - 1940)

[racingrubberbiker]

See also "Imagine me on the Maginot Line" (clip not available!) shot in France in 1940 about the same time as this, before the fall of France. Both clips made for British news-reels

[BOT101st]

I think I saw that clip on "World At War" once :D

[racingrubberbiker]

I have a feeling that this clip was not Normandy in 1945, but in the "phoney war" of 39-40. ??

[TarPaprShack]

I am pretty sure this would have been representative of WW1 not WW2.

[racingrubberbiker]

How on earth can this be WW1?

[racingrubberbiker]

The give-away for 1940 is that the soldiers all have gas masks in containers at the front.

[BOT101st]

You can tell that this shot is in ww2 and not ww1 for many-a-reason...

[imatwatinlove]

i thought it was in the Crimea! :@

[BOT101st]

lol

[DuctTapeMyFace]

I appreciate that's what you meant, I was merely mocking the idea of a Heaven for dead people who get to go on youtube and read comments!

[DuctTapeMyFace]

George Formby stopped reading things when he died. Anyways, he was fantanstic while he was alive and is an inspiration to people who care for his craft.

[AlexDCl]

He went to Normandy in WW2, that's awfully brave of him.

[Enot71]

Спасибо! :)

[BOT101st]

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

If there are any Geoge Formby fans on here,please contact me.NEIL.

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

George was the Elvis of the 1930s,1940s,1950s,nothing in common with Elvis,it's just that the entire British Commonwealth of nations loved him in those 30 or so years and he was the best,but did not think of himself as above anyone else,unlike today's music stars!The guy makes me cry,that age was so innocent,compared to now!

[pacificlipper]

george was the robbie wlliams of the 30,s!!

[leeperryismerry]

... and better

[sgtcore]

what the hell? George Formby was a comedian/singer, not a pop artist... George Formby has always been and always will be better than robbie williams...

[BOT101st]

The bridegroom, he is doing fine.
