Description: | The forces favourite sweetheart Vera Lynn came to Shillong to sing for the troops, who were on convalescence or leave.
Reg Stone remembers the singer entertaining troops at an isolated hill station at Shillong, during the Second World War. He was among servicemen who made an 80-mile trip in covered wagons along precipitous mountain roads to see the singer.
Reg says: "Having been in a field hospital with fever, I was given two weeks' recuperative leave when Vera sang to us". | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
