Summary

Description

TO ALL FRENCHMEN!
France has lost a battle!
But France has not lost the war!

Some that have happened into governing positions may have capitulated, ceding to panic, forgetting honour, delivering the country to servitude. However, nothing is lost!
Nothing is lost, because this war is a world war. In the free universe, immense forces have yet to get into the fray. One day, those forces will crush the enemy. That day, France must be there for victory. Then she will find her liberty and her greatness again. Such is my goal, my only goal!
This is why I invite all Frenchmen, wherever they may be, to join me in action, in sacrifice, and in hope.
Our motherland is in lethal danger. Let us all fight to save her!
LONG LIVE FRANCE!

General de Gaulle
Head-Quarters,
Carlton Gardens 4
London, S.W.1.

Permission
( Reusing this file )

This file might NOT be in the public domain .

It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain.

It is possible that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago and it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see Commons:Licensing and valid license tags at Commons:Copyright tags ) should be used.

If the file is not found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion ( NOT by any automatic process, but manually).

See below for the previous rationale (not applicable anymore).

Previous public domain rationale, no longer applicable
