Comments
Eric McNider's reference in
Eric McNider's reference to 'White Cliffs' surely records the recitation by Mrs Winnie Cox of the famous wartime poem at a camp concert.
At a Stanley Reunion in England in 1997 I met up with Winnie and introduced her to an ex-Stanley HK policeman, as soon as he heard her name, he remembered her and proclaimed the first line of the poem!
