The Retreat from Flanders
             WE SHALL DEFEND OUR ISLAND WHATEVER THE COST
        by WINSTON CHURCHILL, Prime Minister of Great Britain
              Before the House of Commons, June 4, 1940

    We shall not flag nor fail.  We shall go on to the end.  We
shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight
with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.  We shall
defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on
beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills.
We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment
believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and
starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the
British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time
the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the
liberation and rescue of the Old.
