"* “You Britishers are far too modest. We’ve got to come all the way over here to learn the truth about you, and what you're doing. We don't get a quarter of it from your radio; you’ve such a darned habit of singing small. Look at that line you shoot at the beginning ‘Radio Newsreel surveys the world from London.’ See what I mean? You just say from London—you don't play it up —you don't say: •London—the city in the front’ line’; you don't say: ‘London —who took it all alone.’ You don’t give us any of those stupendous colossal build-ups; you just say ‘London’ and expect us to add the exclamation marks, and to remember it's a city where at every street corner you bump slap-bang into history.”—A Canadian soldier in a 8.8. C. talk to Britons.
