    Sir Winston Churchill 1874 - 1965
    I Vow To Thee My Country - Gustav Holst
    Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS (30 November 1874 -- 24 January 1965) was a British politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister twice (1940--45 and 1951--55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. To date, he is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.[1]
    Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jenny Jerome, an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and through books he wrote about his campaigns.
    At the forefront of politics for fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before World War I, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of the Asquith Liberal government. During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign, which he had sponsored, caused his departure from government. He then served briefly on the Western Front, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He returned to government as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Secretary of State for Air. After the War, Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Conservative (Baldwin) government of 1924--29, controversially returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-War parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure on the UK economy. Also controversial were Churchill's opposition to increased home rule for India, and his resistance to the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII.
    Out of office and politically "in the wilderness" during the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in warning about the danger from Hitler and in campaigning for rearmament. On the outbreak of World War II, he was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. His steadfast refusal to consider defeat, surrender or a compromise peace helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult early days of the War when Britain stood alone in its active opposition to Hitler. Churchill was particularly noted for his speeches and radio broadcasts, which helped inspire the British people. He led Britain as Prime Minister until victory had been secured over Nazi Germany.
    After the Conservative Party lost the 1945 election, he became Leader of the Opposition. In 1951, he again became Prime Minister, before retiring in 1955. Upon his death, The Queen granted him the honour of a state funeral, which saw one of the largest assemblies of world statesmen ever.

    I am 86 years old with only a few years of life left, yet I don't long to be young again. I have so many rich and fulfilling memories. As a little kid I went through WW2, that terrible war, those bleak dark days that stretched into years. But I have no real regrets.
    I feel for the young, growing up without the experience of the heritage I know so well. It's their heritage too, belonging to a proud island race that, despite the mischief done by the envious and ungrateful, still owns world renown.
    We do not know what lies ahead and I do not know how much more I shall see but I am prepared to believe that better times will come. We are overwhelmed by those many of whom would supplant us but it is my prayer thst there will be some who will join with us, the British people, with a genuine desire to make the United Kingdom great again.
    I say to the young "Work to make our nation great again. Give glory to God. A great heritage is yours. Treasure it and, with God's help, bring it back again.

      He didn't starve India out of malice. He need munitions for the war effort and so diverted all food towards British and allied troops. If not, those troops would have died of malnutrition or killed whilst fatigued. Almost every major army general in history has had to make a similar decision. Today's youth only think it was an outrage because it was a white person who did it. Todays youth are alarmingly conformist. Look at India's population boom since the British ruled. They had too many children as they were given means of medicine and an endless supply of food by the British infrastructure. They were gluttonous and like every other gluttonous people (including the British post world war 2), they eventually have to pay the price because life is never a straight line. @@jamesnga2705

      And even today 56 years after his death even I a non Brit mourn and cry for him. If it weren't for him not only would my country not be independant but the whole of Europe. On the 5th of May 1940 you British launched an "invasion" of Iceland, my home nation. We can't be more grateful as if it wasn't for that invasion we would not even be a 1st world nation and be so prosperous. May God bring glory and prosperity to all the British nation and I hope God gave Sir Winston Churchil a glorious entrance to his kingdom.

      Piggy sew let’s just keep a few things in mind. 1. Churchill continued war on Germany over Poland, and was bombing Germany for months before there was bombs returned, and sided with a far more brutal communist regime which then crushed Poland sovereignty after the war which meant Churchill essentially had no intention to carry out his original goal. 2. He ignored the fact the USSR also invaded multiple countries before Germany did and also invaded Poland at roughly the same time as Germany. Churchill also ignored the fact Ethnic Germans were being murdered by Jews in Poland which was originally German to begin with, even after Hitler requested more international support they never done anything. History is indeed written by the victors and always will be, not everything is so black and white when you look at it from a non biased perspective

    I remember watching the funeral on German TV and I was only 9 years old. My Mother, who sat beside me, told me that he was a great man
    Only years later I understood what she meant.
    In the same year, I went to visit England for the first time in my life. I stayed with a wonderful family for 9 weeks. There I learned, that a to me unknown family took me as member of the family for this time, that people should look after one another. No matter where they come from.
    This year was so special for me.
    Thank you England.

He was not a good one, he was rushing against Germany and its social system even before World War I and especially before World War II! He declared his goal to destroy Germany and its productivity! He also allowed the Soviet Union to invade Poland and Finland in 1939 without answering. The English also destroyed the Boers and used concentration camps for it! Here are a few official websites.

    I was living in Johannesburg at the time Winston Churchill died. Every day, a cartoonist called Bob Connolly used to post a satirical, political cartoon in the Daily Mail newspaper, always with a little dumpy, round-bellied man somewhere in the picture. I never saw Bob Connolly personally, but I heard that he looked just like the little man in his cartoons - a self-prortrait pastiche. On the occasion of the death of Winston Churchill, he excelled himself with a cartoon that simply depicted an ash tray with a dead cigar in it, and the little figure of Connolly standing to one side, head bowed.

    Churchill is a name synonymous with the fabric of our Great Britain. Winston Churchill was a man who can't ever be forgotten and it is our duty as Englishmen and women to carry on his lessons of character, grit and spirit so that we can hold onto what is dear to us in this world.
    Just as a solemn lonely church sits alone upon a hill, concealed by a misty English weather - our patriotism shall never leave no matter how distant or far away it seems. Always there, in the background silently observing and waiting for us return and climb the hill upon which our morals and standards are held.
    Fellow Brits remember these words and uphold British values in all that you do, for with every generation must come people that hold onto tradition and the future of the civilization that brought us forth in the present.
    God bless.

      The Passing of Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill occurred on a Sunday, January 24,1965. I personally do not recall a single instance of any of the Major Networks(NBC, CBS, ABC)(It should be made clearer however that the BBC and I'am certain there even others that may have broadcast the event, however, I do not recall the funeral covering the actual funeral procession being broadcast. I was born and raised in the City of New York, I was in 10th grade in High School. It must be further stated that such an event as we are witnessed here lasted for some 6 days(A card placed on a Wreath which was so placed on the grave of Winston Churchill read "From the nation and commonwealth in grateful remembrance" Elizabeth R ). Winston Churchill lay in state with the entire period of observance with the Funeral Procession and subsequent burial occurring on the 6th day, a Saturday.

      I think if you had imparted to any who may have read your comment what this rich British Heritage Ancestry was in fact there would be something all might learn from. The comment as is, is without a truth or even a cause by which the reader of your comment may indeed learn something perhaps anything at all about as you say your rich British Heritage Ancestry. I personally do not know what in fact you are referring to or what you are talking about. Do You Donald Reaves know much of anything about Prime Minister Churchill, if that be the case then let us know otherwise why in the deuce are you here? The Event which the British press coined the term "Atlantic Charter" was a first meeting between the then President of The United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth Winston Churchill. The meeting occurred on two amazing ships with one of the two ships being The Prince of Wales, a King George the Fifth Class Battleship(KG5). There is very excellent information about this meeting with the Prime Minister's own words making for a shared fellowship one morning on the Deck of The Prince of Wales. Officers and many High Ranking officials from both countries sang and sang I might remind everyone here, that the hymnals of the Church of England are one of the greatest concentration of magnificent verse as any musical literature. It is this opinion that has it, that the Church of England should stand front and center as one of the greatest repositories of wealth, untold wealth at that. I wish you could listen to Winston Churchill speak of those moments when there was a shared fellowship aboard the Prince of Wales somewhere in the North Atlantic.This is about your Heritage Donald Reaves, you should know it well.

    Many Americans wanted nothing to do with the war in Europe. Pearl Harbor
    was well in the future. But Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill stood as a rock
    and Britain with him. And after the war he foresee what was about to come with
    the Soviet Union but has not the power to prevent it.
