'I was just twenty-seven years old when I went to Burma. It was and experience that changed my life for ever. Up until that time, I had not really travelled anywhere at all, apart from one touring visit yo Holland wit a band I was singing with before the war, and I had certainly never been in an aeroplane. But I wanted to make a difference, to do my bit.' Written with her daughter, Virginia Lewis-Jones, this is the story of the time Vera Lynn spent with troops in wartime Burma. Based in part on a diary she kept, alongside unpublished personal letters and photographs from surviving veterans and their families, it explores why this was such a life-defining event for her, and how her presence helped the people who heard her sing.
