With 2015 marking the 70th anniversary of the end of world war 2; I began to consider the music our grandparents listened to while serving in the armed forcesover seas.
I realize these links relate to the entertainment provided the U.S. troops .I would be interested in what was provided to our Canadian or even the British forces in the form of recorded entertainment.
I am well aware of the recordings that was available to the public on shellack and vinyl from the era that have been reproduced on compact disc.
What I was looking for were the "V-Discs" that were produced for the armed forces.
So I started searching online and fount these three sites dedicated to the "V-Disc".
This first YouTube site is a history of the "V-Disc" in several clips

The second and third links are for sites that have "V-Disc" recordings that can be listened to online... these sites each have quite an extensive selection and a wide variety of music.
