thought to *possibly* be by Sterling Holloway because the PM couldn't make 
it to the studio for the broadcast (no broadcats could originate from the 
British House of Commons).

Here's an article I just found:

It is important to remember that many of the audio clips from Churchill's 
famous speeches that are floating around were made long after the fact by 
Churchill for Decca, which may explain why they sound differently from 
others recorded during the war.

I have several lacquer recordings of Churchill from BBC shortwave broadcats 
made by an American radio station during the war.  Now I've got to dig them 
out and listen again!
