Her career peaked during the WWII when she gave concerts to British troops serving abroad. She toured in India, Burma and Egypt. Her song “We’ll Meet Again” became one of the war symbols in Great Britain. She also started her radio program Sincerely Yours sending messages to soldiers who were abroad. She has become the first UK artist to top American charts. That was the song “Auf Wiedersehen, sweetheart”. This song and two others “The Homing Waltz” and “Forget-me-Not” were remarkable entries on the first UK Singles chart.
