🎥 Rare historical footage uncovered: Churchill

🎥 Rare historical footage uncovered: Churchill visits Virginia battlefields, 1929.

Long before leading Britain through WWII, Winston Churchill toured the American Civil War battlefields of Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Chancellorsville. In newly surfaced film from the Imperial War Museums, you can see Churchill at the Sunken Road and Stone Wall—moments captured during his October 1929 trip through Virginia.

Hosted by local historians and deeply moved by the landscape, Churchill later reflected in The Daily Telegraph that the fields at Spotsylvania were where “Destiny pivoting here has stamped the ground with a ruthless heel.”

🕰 This is among the earliest known footage of what would become Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park.

“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties…”

On this day in 1940, Winston Churchill addressed the House of Commons in what would become one of the most iconic speeches of the 20th century: “Their Finest Hour.”

France had just fallen to Nazi Germany. Britain was standing alone. Yet Churchill didn’t falter. He stirred a nation to courage with these immortal words:

✨ “If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’”

On May 19, the first meeting of Young Churchillian

On May 19, the first meeting of Young Churchillians in the U.S. took place at the historic British Embassy in Washington, D.C.—a site where Churchill himself once stayed during his post-war visits.

Seventy-five rising professionals from government, law, and business gathered to celebrate the legacy of Sir Winston Churchill and the enduring strength of the Anglo-American alliance. With one foot on British soil and one on American, the statue of Churchill outside the embassy served as a fitting symbol for the evening.

📣 ICS Executive Director Lee Pollock shared the vision behind the Young Churchillians: connecting the next generation to Churchill’s timeless leadership, courage, and foresight.

This week marked the 85th anniversary of the Dunki

This week marked the 85th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation — a defining moment in modern history.

Operation Dynamo wasn’t just a military evacuation; it was a story of leadership, resilience, and extraordinary cooperation under pressure. Over 330,000 Allied soldiers were rescued against all odds.

As we reflect on this pivotal event, we’re reminded that in the face of adversity, courage and clarity of purpose can move mountains.
