FREE FUTURE
MR CHURCHILL’S PROMISE TO ICELAND. ENTHUSIASM AT ISLAND CAPITAL. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, August 19. “We came here to keep the Germans away from Iceland," Mr Churchill told cheering crowds gathered cutside the Parliament House when he visited Reykjavik on August 16. Addressing them from the balcony, he said: "We will trouble your life as little as possible and guarantee, together with the United States, that after the war your culture will be linked with the free future.”
He gave the V sign when stepping ashore at Reykjavik.
