Dame Vera Lynn with her 1956 UK #4 hit A House With Love In It.
Vera as well as being the Forces Sweetheart during WWII was the first UK artist to reach #1 in the US Billboard charts in 1952 with Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart.
She was awarded the OBE in 1959 and DBE (Dame) in 1975.
In 2009 she became the oldest living person to have a #1 hit album in the UK at the age of 92.
I bought this 78 at the time it was a hit. Thanks for uploading. For some inexplicable reason, it is rarely heard today.

An old campaigner and a song that I have not previously heard even though I am of Vera Lynn's generation. An old-fashioned song today but the sentiments of the lyrics are nice and most appropriate for its particular era.
