History - Queen Elizabeth’s speech

Click on the link above to read Queen Elizabeth’s Speech to her troops.

Imagine you are sending your troops into battle, can you write your own speech using the language that Elizabeth used in hers. Use hers as an example but innovate it to make it your own. I am looking to see a Year 6 standard of writing that includes cohesive devices for this genre of writing, advanced punctuation for effect and excellent language. What is the purpose of this piece? How does your language fit that?
