about

Excerpts from HM King George VI’s broadcast to the nation and the Empire at the outbreak of war at 3.00pm on September 3rd 1939. The pauses are exactly how the King spoke, in his efforts to control his stammer. The result gives a compelling musicality to the delivery.

lyrics

“In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every household of my people… this message. For the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at war… But we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit our cause to God. If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may demand, then, with God's help, we shall prevail… The task will be hard … and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield.”
