“We’ll meet again,
Don’t know where,
Don’t know when …”
The FitzOsbornes at War is about saying goodbye, so the song I’ve chosen today is Vera Lynn singing one of the most famous (and saddest) songs of the Second World War, We’ll Meet Again.

More in Five Books, Five Songs:
1. The Rage of Sheep – Hester’s Request
2. A Brief History of Montmaray – The Sea Is Writhing Now
3. The FitzOsbornes in Exile – Doing The Lambeth Walk
4. The FitzOsbornes at War – We’ll Meet Again
5. The Work-in-Progress – Through The Large Four-Chambered Heart
Vera Lynn singing this song runs through my head all the time. I have it on my WWII playlist on my IPod along with a list of humourous WWII songs like Who’s this Geezer Hitler and Blitzkrieg Baby. And can you believe, Vera Lynn born 1917 is still alive.
She has such a beautiful voice, hasn’t she? I also love her version of ‘The White Cliffs of Dover’.
