9、 try to do. That is the resolve of His Majestys government - every man of them. That is the will of parliament and the nation.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
