I only know her from Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

...You guys really don't know the song "We'll meet again"? It's pretty much a staple in every WWII movie ever.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she'd say that we would meet again some sunny day.

RIP, Dame Vera.

I know what my speakers will play as an intro for the next session of Blood Red Skies.

Awww I just learned that she was still alive a couple of weeks ago.

State Side, we mostly remember Glenn Miller as the sound of WWII.

Basically if it weren't for Pink Floyd, I would not have recognized the song on Dr. Strangelove.

It's the song that plays at the finale of Strangelove, and the version that plays is one sung by Vera.
Also I don't watch many war films, as a rule.
