[78-L] King George VI, 2 speeches

[Ted Kneebone]

Here are my notes from the 2 speeches of King George VI that I have.

A.  Visit to Canada, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Source:  ET from WNAX, Yankton, SD.  Date unknown.  Here is the first 
sentence...
"Mr. Premier, I'd like to thank you for the very warm welcome which has been 
given to the Queen and myself today from the Premier of Nova Scotia."  He 
delivers the first part of his speech in English, then switches to French, 
and back to English.  Time on counter: 3:20 to 10:58.
Following the King's speech, Queen Elizabeth delivers a short speech in 
English.  Time on counter:  11:40 to 13:58.

B.  King George VI's speech from London on VJ day.  1945.
Source:  cassette of BBC news from World War II.  The King speaks from 
London.  Here is first sentence:  "Three months have passed since I asked 
you to join with me in an act of thanksgiving for the defeat of Germany..." 
Time on counter:  0 to 1:57.

If anyone wants a CD or cassette of these speeches, please write to me 
giving your mailing address.  The speech defect that King George had was 
stammering, not stuttering.
