To be honest, Churchill was good and Henry V (he that hath no stomach for this fight etc) was outstanding, but I think the speech that you refer us to, is absolutely inspirational. I remember reading it when it was reported, I just wish it had been captured on film. The effect on rousing his men and women was reported to be incredible. People were in tears at the end of it.

The Col has captured the very essence of what this war is about. It is definitly on a par with Montgomeries speech to the Eighth Army.

Thanks for the link, I had been trying to get a copy.
