They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them!
A truly incredible woman who was so lovingly and fondly known as the forces sweetheart due to her popularity during the Second World War and gave performances for the troops has passed away today at the age of 103 years old.
Her most well known song “We’ll Meet Again” has been so fondly used over the years. Along with “The White Cliffs of Dover” and “There’ll Always Be an England”.
Rest in Peace to this inspirational and amazing woman ❤️
Not long after Germany takes over Czechoslovakia in March 1939, a scientist Axel Bomasch is working on a new type of armour plating and he must be protected.

We’ll Meet Again is a song that was first around in World War II and was sung to the troops by Vera Lynn before they left England to fight. The lyrics are truly poignant and powerful, last night The Queen addressed the nation and finished by saying we will meet again and other references to the war were within the speech. So since then I have been thinking about this song especially considering it reminds me of my Nanna who was evacuated during WWII so much so we had it as the final song at her funeral.
The incredible true story of Bert Trauntmann a German Prisoner of War in England, was an impressive football goalkeeper and manages to get himself signed by Manchester City along with falling in love with English woman Margaret. Having to battle against the aftermaths of the Second World War.

Again this year nine films have been nominated for the top award of Best Picture, always creating good talking points around film as people can often never understand why some were nominated and then go onto win. I think this year is actually pretty strong and a decent range, but I will get more into each individual film.
Let’s have one last look at each of the films that have been nominated . . .
Early on in World War II the newly appointed Prime Minster Winston Churchill must decide the fate of Great Britain, will he negotiate a deal with Hitler or fight on and never surrender?

With 400,000 men trapped on Dunkirk during World War II, everything must be done to bring them home. Allied British and French soldiers had to battle to survive against the Germans closing in on them by the hour.
