Dame Vera Lynn makes a century. Happy Birthday Dame Vera.She was a singer of my childhood a hero to the English and the Forces sweetheart a great morale booster all round during W W 2. Amusing as it is The White Cliffs of Dover was written by Walter Kent (November 29, 1911 – March 2, 1994) who was a Jewish American composer and the co-writer with fellow American Nat Burton of the tune.
