Chronological/Timeline: Winston Churchill (Kenny)

I was born November 30, 1874, in Oxfordshire, England. I was born in the Blenheim Palace, and my religion was Anglican. My father was Lord Randolph Churchill, and my mother was Jeanette Jerome. I grew up in Dublin, Ireland. My real name is Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill. When I started school, I did quite poorly. Within weeks of the third school I was sent to, I joined the Harrow Rifle Corps. Once I had adapted to the military school, my father died when I was only 21. I eventually joined the Fourth Hussars in 1895, where I served

But he didn’t give up, in fact he refused to surrender, He once stated “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender”. This came out as incredibly beneficial when the news of Hitler’s death in 1945 spread across Europe.…
