    A truly wonderful women who really cared for the soldiers she entertained. Especially remembered by the Burma veterans for her concerts held not that far from the front line at Kohima, she eventually received her own Burma Star and war medal in 1985. She was absolutely adored by the troops, and a fantastic boost to their morale at a time when the Burma campaign was largely forgotten back home.

    A very nice lady. I met her 35 years ago. It was wonderful to hear her sing all the wartime songs.

    RIP

    Cheers, Ade.
