Literature
An account of this speech, "An Address given in the Free Trade Hall Manchester January 1940," is given in Into Battle (London, 1941, p. 169). Woods A49 refers to a speech reprinted from the Manchester Guardian of 29th January 1940 (speech actually made on the 27th January 1940 at Manchester) -- this is again an 8-page leaflet and not a poster.
