Be Ye Men of Valour is the first speech by Churchill as Prime Minister. The speech was made in a BBC broadcast on 19 May 1940, when the strategic situation in Europe was quickly deteriorating, as the Wehrmacht surprised the French army by advancing through the Ardennes, and consequently breaking through the defenses at Sedan and crossing the Meuse.

The speech concludes with a famous quotation from the Apocrypha, which supplies the phrase by which the speech became known:

Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.
