Of the many things I might associate with Easter, surely something on Winston Churchill might be better left for Anzac week. But there has been some very interesting material recently coming out about his life that in might relate in some measure to Easter.
Winston Churchill was a larger than life public figure when I was growing up during the 1950s. Although he was the wartime Prime Minister of Great Britain, his legends and his pronouncements were well-publicised in the Anglophile Australia of that time. Many adult men of our acquaintance had been overseas fighting during World War II, or had been in protected occupations growing food, as my father was; and many children of the time had a parent or grandparent who had come from England, as I did.
