During World War II,
they entertained the
Allied forces
extensively in America,
Africa and Italy,
visiting Army, Navy,
Marine and Coast Guard
bases, war zones,
hospitals, and munitions
factories. They
encouraged U.S. citizens
to purchase war bonds
with their rendition of
Irving Berlin's song Any
Bonds Today?. They also
helped actors Bette
Davis and John Garfield
found California's
famous Hollywood
Canteen, a welcome
retreat for servicemen
where the trio often
performed, volunteering
their personal time to
sing and dance for the
soldiers, sailors and
Marines (they did the
same at New York City's
Stage Door Canteen
during the war). While
touring, they often
treated three random
servicemen to dinner
when they were dining
out. They recorded a
series of Victory Discs
(V-Discs) for
distribution to Allied
fighting forces only,
again volunteering their
time for studio sessions
for the Music Branch,
Special Service Division
of the Army Service
Forces, and they were
dubbed the "Sweethearts
of the Armed Forces
Radio Service" for their
many appearances on
shows like "Command
Performance", "Mail
Call", and "G.I.
Journal." Perhaps only
Bob Hope and his troupe
did more to entertain
the troops.
