I sent Dame Vera's autobiography off to her, £1 in a local charity shop, on the 8th of August. Today the book has been returned signed with a signed letter and Vera has also added her graph to one of the pic's in the book. Very pleased with this reply from the 92 year old...and still "The Forces Sweetheart".
Dame Vera Lynn, DBE (born Vera Margaret Welch on 20 March 1917) is an English singer and actress whose musical recordings and performances were enormously popular during World War II. During the war she toured Egypyt India and Burma, giving outdoor concerts for the troops. She became known, and is still referred to, as "The Forces' Sweetheart"; the songs most associated with her are "We'll Meet Again", "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "There'll Always Be an England". She remained popular after the war, appearing on radio and television in the UK and the United States and recording such hits as "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" and "My Son, My Son". In 2009 she became the oldest living artist to make it to No. 1 on the British album chart, at the age of 92. She has devoted much time and energy to charity work connected with ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. She is still held in great affection by veterans of the Second World War and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the twentieth century .
Thank you so much Dame Vera Lynn...Also the Eskimo's favourite "Whale meat again" .
