Spike Milligan had a running joke in his books about Gracie Fields, another “Forces Sweetheart”, an example being where the Allied troops winning the battle of Monte Cassini was because they’d rather run at the Germans than have to go back to base and endure one of her concerts :lol:

I’ll bet Vera wasn’t as popular amongst the troops as we’re led to believe.

Margarita Pracatan. RIP. 

 

 Aww :(

 

For some inexplicable reason, she was booked to play the music tent at the Lewisham People's Day summer fair a couple of years ago. Of course I went. She was magnificent.

 

Here's the setlist. :lol:
