Men of the Lightship (1941)

Robert Newton: Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : Year in, year out, all round our coasts, the beam of the lightship shines through the night and its siren pierces the fogbanks. Light and fog signal reach vessels of all nations equally and for three centuries, lighthouses and lightships were considered international. Three hundred years of warfare left them untouched. from the day when Louis XIV told his navy "I am at war with England but not with Humanity." From that day until the 29th of January 1940.

• Narrator : [Last lines]  The men of the East Dudgeon Light died of cold, and hunger and wounds on the sands of the East Coast. Their story is only one episode in a war of unparalleled horror. The Nazis *must* be stopped. We must, we can, we *will* stop them.
