    Who is the 'Forces Sweetheart' who sings We'll Meet Again? She isn't credited on IMDB or the BFI websites.

    Vera Lynn was the one who made it famous during WWII.

    It's been covered by other performers though



    It was mocked as "Whale Meat Again" when rationing and the difficulty of commercial fishing in wartime affected the availability of fish
