Winston Churchill was born in a ladies’ room during a dance.

Churchill painted more than 570 paintings, but only a few major shows were held in his own lifetime.

He wrote 3 books, saw 4 wars on 4 continents and was elected to the House of Commons - all by the age of 26!

During the Boer War (1899-1902) he was captured and escaped. The Boers put a bounty of only 25 pounds on his head.

In 1953 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

He was a large collector of toy soldiers.

Time Magazine named Winston Churchill “man of the year” in 1940 and 1946.
