description: "Dame Vera Margaret Lewis, known professionally as Vera Lynn, was an English singer and entertainer whose musical recordings and performances were popular during World War II. She is honorifically known as the \"Forces' Sweetheart\", having given outdoor concerts for the troops in Egypt, India, and Burma during the war as part of the Entertainments National Service Association. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography wrote of Lynn, \"Her reassuring voice and mastery of radio made her the forces' sweetheart in the Second World War—a connection she fostered with her ongoing commitment to veterans and memory of the war.\" The songs most associated with her include \"We'll Meet Again\", \"(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover\" and \"A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square\"."
