Roosevelt & Churchill In Ottawa And Quebec - SOUND
Film clips of parts of FDR's speech in Ottawa 25 August 1943. Considered among the most consequential speeches ever given in North America. Video notable for the crowds who attended the outdoor speech, noticeable at 3:12. I believe the speech given by the woman at the last quarter of the clip is Mary Churchill addressing women in uniform supporting the war effort.
Address at Ottawa, Canada. (written version, complete).
