“We may, I am sure, rate this tremendous year as the most splendid, as it was the most deadly, year in our long English and British story....[N]othing surpasses 1940.... The soul of the British people and race had proved invincible. The citadel of the Commonwealth and Empire could not be stormed. Alone, but upborne by every generous heartbeat of mankind, we had defied the tyrant in the height of his triumph.” —WSC, 1949
