Words for Battle
''Words for Battle'' is a British propaganda film produced by the Ministry of Information's Crown Film Unit in 1941. It was written and directed by Humphrey Jennings, and originally had the title ''In England Now''. It features seven sequences, each containing images of rural and urban Britain at war overlaid with audio of Laurence Olivier reciting passages from different English literary works and speeches.
==Overview==
The film opens with an extract from Philemon Holland's translation of William Camden's ''Britannia''. This is followed by a recitation of part of John Milton's tract ''Areopagitica'', accompanied by shots of Westminster Abbey, RAF recruits in training and Adolf Hitler speaking with Nazi officers. The third sequence, depicting children being evacuated from London, is joined with words from William Blake's poem 'Jerusalem'. This is followed by images of Naval destroyers at sea, backed by Robert Browning's 'Home-thoughts, from the Sea'. The next sequence shows firemen and police officers searching through the remains of damaged houses during the Blitz, accompanied by Rudyard Kipling's 'The Beginnings'. After this, Winston Churchill is shown inspecting a parade of soldiers, while Olivier recites a section from his 1940 speech, 'We shall fight on the beaches'. As the speech continues, the film shows post-Blitz rebuilding work. The film's climax features an extract from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, accompanying footage of tanks passing the statue of Lincoln in Parliament Square, the chimes of Big Ben, and civilians travelling to work.
