The Allies final assault on Narvik, the Norwegian iron ore port, which was captured from the Germans yesterday, lasted 24 hours. While British warships shelled the German position,French, Polish and Norwegian troops closed in on the town from north, south and east. , The British fleet assembled in front of Narvik on Tuesday morning, and started its bombaPdinent at 10.20 a.m. At 10.45 French troops in military landing craft crossed the fjord under fire and made a successful landing on a headland near Narvil{, Then they deployed in the hills and attacked throughstrongly-defended wooded country, -vvhile the British lcept up a -· bombardment of such targets as presented themse·1ves. Polish troops, similarly pPotected by the navy., crossed the hills south of the port and opened a vigorous attack. Meanwhile, the Norwegians were working in from the east. Occasional Verey lights told the navy of' the positions of the l'.llied forces, and barrages were laid dov.rn accordingly. Narvik was finally talcen at 11, 20 a.m. yesterday. British forces south of Bodo, 120 miles south ~f Narvik, who are opposing the northward thrust of the Germans from the Namsos area, have kept up d magnificent resistance in the best traditions of the British army. Scottish, Welsh and Irish regiments are concerned. The Germans, who have advanced in mass formation, have sustained very heGvy casualties and are nursing a healthy respect for the British. In the recent heavy bor.1bing of Bodo, although the town was badly damaged, the civilian casualties were much lighter than was at first thought possible. This was principall~r due to the gallantry of the British rescue partieso The German warplanes flew v'ery low over the tovm, first bombing,and then machine-gunning it. They set fire to the hospital and then machioe-gunned the wounded as they were being evacuated, They also put tihe fire engines out of action.

I've been an eye-witness of the great events that have been happening during the last few days, but in order to understand what these events really mean, it's necessary to judge them froL1 the right angle, to view them in the right perspective. It must be obvious to everyone that, at this moment, we're in, what a sailor would describe as a bit of pot mess. If he was a pessimist he'd call it a proper old pot mess. Many people are asking whatts going to be the. result of all this, what's going to happen? The optimist will say "It's quite all right,something is bound to happen which will help us out of the pot mess." The pessimist, on the other hand, will paint a gloomy picture and declare that nothing can retrieve the situation. But I've no use, and I don't su:ppose you have either, for either optimists or pessimists. What really matters is what the nation, what the man in the street, thinks. That's the important thing. And what does the man in the street think? I maintain that his view is this -we've had a knock, an unexpected knocl-.~ a dam' d hard knock. But it's certainly not going to lmocl:: us out. Now what reason has the man in the street for believing this? I'll tell you. It's history, the history of our nation. Let's turn back the pages and see what happened in the past. July 1588 and Good Queen Bess is on the throne. .The SpanishArmada is sailing up chnnnel to embark an army from Flanders with which to invade England and put her under the Spanish yoke. Did our forefathers quail? Were they despondent? No. Putting to sea in their ships from Plymouth, little ships far smaller than the great Spanish galleons, they attacked the Armada all the way up channel. Drake and Howard led those sailors. They were not daunted by size or numbers. They were not going to surrender their liberties, the liberties they gave us as a heritage. And in that spirit they achieved victory. They defeated the great Armada off Gravelines -Gravelines between C2lais and Dunkirk, where we are fighting today. Ashore, the fiery beacons lit along ou~ coast surrnnoned the trained bands, the army and the Local Defence Volunteers of those days.England was ready, England knew what was at sta1'~e, and the English, as the British today, were determined to fight i.t out. In 1745, that's 160 years later, we were again threatened byinvasion. This time it was the French, now happily our close friends and allies. An enormous army and munitions had been assembled at Boulogne and Dunkirk. /By virtue ~·· 2 ­ By virtue of ou:::> se.o. :-?ower we c1-.cstro;>r0d the enenw munitions, proceeding by s ea t o CaJ.ais ai16. BouJ.ogne. A good example of effective blockac1eo A~1cl so ·1rn overcame the risk of invasion, and maintained the securit y· of t he I sland Kingdom. Half a century· later ll i.n 1805 1 there was another threat of invasion. Acr oss the c~1a:111el Napoleon had collected an army of 180,000 men between Hb.vre and Dunkir·k., But he had nQ1 got command of the sea" And unt i l he secured that command he knew it was useless t o make an;y-a·ttempt at invading our shores. He tried by ever y r use g;nct by every device to engage our blockading squadrons wi.th supePior forces, but he failed. Trafalgar put t he sea::i. on all his hopaso And finally~ ·~he G-j:->eat War -the war, alas, which was supposed to end al l WE.:1'8$ :n 191L~ ~ 1917, and again in 1918 ­disaster stared us i Y1 the faceo We had our backs to the wall. But never :for a moment did ·,rn n1lcw t he thought of ultimate defeat to enter our hes.ds., 'l'l1e:o i> as t oday, we were determined to fight on until victory had been achieved. You may s ay t hc..t in a.lJ. t hese examples we were not in so tight a corner as we a.re todayo I 6.ontt agree~ Admittedly the loss of the channel po::."ts and the occupation of Belgian and Dutch ports rrms t proV"'3 c. scr:l.01.m er>1barrassrnent, a serious difficulty. It may encou rage t:1e ern.~rn:y-to attempt . landings on our coast with a view to c0i'1.qu0r:ing us by invasion, These landings would prove a hazaPays the war will end in August. For us, the Allies, with our command of the sea and with the enormous resources which t hat con¥nand enables us to use the war will only end when we have ach:1.s ,red v:lGto::y., I know that Rritish courage~ British resolution, British refusal to admit defeat, w]_ll today, as in the past, bring us victory, however hard~ howe 1rnr f i.erce, the struggle. I say this with confidence, wi th increased. certainty, because for the last week I have been on the south"·east coast and I have seen with my own eyes how the Brit~_sh face up t o adversityo I went over at n:Lght ·co Calais in one of our destroyers, when the garris on was hc~rd pressed9 was surrounded by superior forces, but was h0·i.c1 ing on grimlyo As we made fast alongside the quay we came under hea..ir:v-f:i.".'ev With shells bursting alongside and on the quay the captain gave the or der to cast off the wires, and with coolness and preGis i on backed his ship clear of this unhealthy berth and crought her al ongside at a spot which was less exposed to fire~ Every/ -3 ­ · Every order he gave ·was carried out faithf'ully and coura~~eously1regardless of the bursting shells. On shore I found a Brigadier, a very gallant Brigaoier, in command of our troops. He realised to the full the situation in which he was placed, and the need for maintaining the defence to the last minute. His quiet confidence, his grim dete~mination to hold out to the last man, was an inspiration to everyone there. No thoucht of s1u•render, no thou:·)•.t but to serve their countr~· to the utmont o..r their endeavour ~na. to the last man. And this they dicl.• The defence of Calais ac;a5.nst over·;1helrnj_nc odds was a ma~nificent example of British coura:;e. That episode I witnessed myself. There are others; many others, thnt remain to be told., and of v:hich ~rou. ·-:ill he:.1r in due course. Owing to the shallow water and other conditions the fightinz at sea on the French coast has fallen mainly to the lot of the smaller shi;?a. Destroyers, Mineawee:i:;iers, Tr~~.7lers, Drifters and shi!>s of our Merchant Navy. Their r10rk has been mn.rsnificent. And so too has the work of even smaller vessels, too m~nerous to describe. These shi~s and small boats have been for days on end the tar~et for continuous attacks from the air, and from rifle, maohine­c;un and shell fire. They have navicated in r.1ine infested waters without the usual aids to navigation, snch z.s lic_·ht shi~s and light vessels. They have no armour, no dug-outs and no protection. The men who have stood. to their duty, under the conditions I have described, are men in the truest sense of the word. It gives you a fresh pride in our race to see their determin­ation, their cheerfulness, and their incomparable courage. It's when you' re in close touch with these happenings and with the magnificent men serving their country in her hour of peril in France, in the air, and at sea, that you realise the tremendous determination and resolve of the British people. I would like to quote the words of a Member of Parliament, spoken in the House of Commons last Tueso~y after the Prime Minister had made a statement. He said, "We have not yet touched the fringeof the resolution of this country." That is not just a mere statement, itts a statement of fact, and those words def'cribe most adeg_uately the feeling of the man in the street at this £.toment. My talk is short tonight because I have to return at once to my post, but I would like to say finally that you can all do some­thing to help the country in her hour of need. It may be only a still closer attention to the duties you have voluntarily undertaken for the w.ar. Here, in Great Britain, it may be just doing everything possible to secure the comfort of refugees and evacuated people. It may be only keeping a firm chin and a smiling face. But whatever it is, whoever you are, wherever you are, whether making munitions in Canada or butter in New Zealand, I ask you who are listening to me tonight to say to yourself that you will show the same courage, the same determination shovm by our soldiers and sailors and airmen. Do this and you may be sure, that however grave the peril, however serious the situation, \'le shall, as our fore­fathers-did in the past, win through to victory.

To ­night our thoughts are with General Prioux and his heroic band of men who have fought so valiantly Qt the side of their British comrades.. These and many others like them are experts· ~n the new type of warfare which has sud~'.enly been introduced by Hitler after nine months of waiting.. During the winter months when the main activity of the war was confined to the Navy and the steady application of the blockade system, and while the forces of Great Britain and the Empire· were being marshalled behind the covering security of the French Maginot Line, it looked as if the war was to be one ef "positions", the successful manoeuvring of entrenched forces behind great fortresses. But Hitler's lightning and unprovoked aggression against Holland and Belgium, his frantic attack with tanl~s and aeroplanes dispelled this idea in a few hours. It was henceforth clear that the war was to be one of movement and of extremely rapid movement at that. In the adjustment to the new situation mistakes were made. But the Allies soon readjusted themselves to the new situation. In England the circumstances of war had brought in a new Government. rn France this new military position brought in a new set of military leaders, those who were specially qualified to deal with the UPgent demands of the situation. 0f' these·, General Prioux was born mn. the 11th April ie79 in Bordeaux, and he is one of the bP,st-knonrn leaders of the French Army. He served in Morocco as a Colonel and when he became a General he was head of the French mission in Poland beingsubsequently appointed director of the French cavalry school of Saumur and beins later director of Cavalry at the French Ministryof 1.i:lar~ Of' medium height with fair hair, clean-shaven and quick-eyed he is most energetic and has alrmys had a great reputation for leadership and quick decision.
