"The British Empire and the French
, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the
their native soil, aiding each other like good
to the utmost of their strength.
"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the
of the Gestapo and all the odious
of Nazi rule, we shall not
or fail.
"We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in
, we shall fight on the seas and
, we shall fight with growing
and growing strength in the
, we shall defend our
, whatever the cost may be.
"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the
, we shall fight in the fields and in the
, we shall fight in the
; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and
by the British fleet, would carry on the
, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the
of the old."
