BRITAIN STANDS ALONE?

Churchill pictured alone on deck, en route to his meeting with President Roosevelt in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. The Atlantic Conference, as it became known, was followed by a joint declaration of unity between the US and the UK, released on 14 August. Churchill travelled to Newfoundland on HMS Prince of Wales, while President Roosevelt was visiting the region ostensibly for a fishing trip – the details of the conference were not made public until afterwards.
