My mom was in her 20s and working in a war plant in Montreal, nearly 2,000 miles from her home in Saskatchewan. She told me that while working, there would always be someone humming, whistling and even singing the song as they went about their work. Sometimes it even graduated in the entire line joining in one giant chorus! She sang or hummed the tune often, probably when thinking about those times. REMEMBER.
Incredible Generation., my parents, grandparents, family., lived thru two World Wars., yes, lost family who never came home., bless them all., so dearly missed.
Thanks so much for this. It is a help in the current crisis. I keep thinking (1) that although we went under here in Estonia, in the Hitler war, we did the best we COULD, and (2) that the British did not go under at all (though they were threatened with sinking in May-June 1940, at Dunkirk, and again in August-September 1940, in their air battles). - (signed) Toomas Karmo, Nõo Rural Municipality (approx 200 km southwest of Tallinn)
