Easy to see why she was voted the "Sweetheart of the Troops".
Her image is being projected on the white cliffs of Dover today. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/vera-lynns-face-lights-up-10060074
I found this interesting and telling-
In 1944, with the global war at its height, Lynn undertook a tour to entertain British troops in Egypt, India, and Burma. In later years she would express her amusement when Spice Girl Geri Halliwell demanded a refrigerator full of soymilk before performing for soldiers bound for Iraq. "She's lucky to be somewhere there is a fridge," she told the Guardian, recalling her stays in grass huts with a bucket of water for a shower. But the trip to distant Burma was worth it. "I remember one of the boys saying, 'Home can't be that far away, 'cause you're here,'" she told the Guardian. "It shortened the distance somehow."
