Congratulations on this excellent piece of research Robert. Yes, he was a great orator who managed to stir up the stoic Brits. His sonorous voice added to it. However not my favourite historic figure. He badly blundered in the Dardanelles, his treatment of women was, to say the least disappointing... I recently read a biography of his long-suffering wife and only last week a biography on Nancy Astor - they could not tolerate one another. Keep up this very stimulating blog.

Thanks as always for the feedback Loraine. You've also prompted me to do dig a bit deeper into Churchill's relationship with women.
