| | Four Bells: Remarks on Naval Affairs - The Churchill Centre |
 | | Winston Churchill was aptly described as "half-American but wholly British." Through his mother, Jennie Jerome of Brooklyn, New York, he had American, indeed Revolutionary blood in his veins. |
 | | Churchill's achievement, which was crucial, was to ensure that the war was not lost, thereby making it possible for the Anglo-American alliance, once America joined the fray in December 1941, to go forward to Victory, together with our ally Soviet Russia. |
 | | That was the Winston Churchill of 50 years before, when he was your age: Winston Churchill the man of action, the young soldier who saw action across four continents, seeking fame and glory in the cannon's mouth. |
