“We’ll meet again. Don’t know where. Don’t know when....” I can hear her voice singing that even now. My folks used to play a record of that over and over when they would talk about the importance of freedom and vigilance

My DH is British and my FIL fought the Gerries on the British coast as a gunner. “White Cliffs of Dover” makes me choke up.

We'll Meet Again, by Vera Lynn
This is, I believe, the second recording. The original was her singing solo. This version was recorded in concert, before a hall of young Royal Army troops soon to be on their way to join Montgomery's forces in North Africa. And they're invited to join her in the vocal about halfway thru.
The atmospherics are amazing. It is clear that she is singing to them!

Ironically, I came across this on YouTube a couple of nights ago and was quite moved by this tribute to Dame Vera. She appears singing in a film clip toward bthe end of Hailey Westenra's performance, and at the end, you see her in the box seat and a glimpse of the Queen, who looks a bit teary-eyed.

Some musician friends of mine did a D-Day Concert at our local library last night. Vera Lynn was very much highlighted there and a soloist sang, “We’ll Meet Again.” The popular music from that era is very beautiful and touching.
