Abstract

The article discusses the possible sources of the 1940 wartime speech delivered by then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill which included the phrase "ye men of valour." It addressed topics such as the religious text which reportedly served as reference for the phrase, the translation of a medieval chant which may have influenced the verses of the speech, and the publication of various revisions of the speech.
