Vera Lynn (RIP)


For John, BLUF"We'll met again, don't know where, don't know when / But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day."  Nothing to see here; just move along.




Here is the sub-headline:

Dame Vera Lynn, the Forces' Sweetheart whose songs helped raise morale in World War Two, has died aged 103.

From The BBC, 18 June2020.

Here is the lede plus two:

The singer was best known for performing hits such as We'll Meet Again to troops on the front line in countries including India and Egypt.

Her family said they were "deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of Britain's best-loved entertainers".

In a statement, they confirmed she died on Thursday morning surrounded by her close relatives.

Hat tip to my Wife.
