Thanks for moving this above the line which is where I now see I should have posted in the first place. I vaguely knew that Betty had been a singer during the war but was not aware of the extent of her singing & acting career until I read the obits. Having now heard her sing, I agree that she had a great voice and wonder why she never became as famous as Vera Lynne or Gracie Fields? Anyway, she gained her fame in later years as Betty Turpin, barmaid/cook at the Rovers Return and seemed content with that.
