He also wrote and released some popular songs during World War II, such as London Pride and Don't Let's Be Beastly to the Germans. In the 1940s he wrote some of his best plays such as This Happy Breed, the intricate semi-autobiographical comedy-drama Present Laughter (both 1939) and Blithe Spirit (1941). Among his achievements, he received an Academy Certificate of Merit at the 1943 Academy Awards for In Which We Serve.
