Young Adventurer: Winston Churchill & The 4th Hussars

CoverFinalLDComing This SummerFinest Hour # 159 focuses on Churchill’s early days as a soldier. Paul H. Courtney contributes the cover story about young Lt. Churchill and the regiment to which he belonged. Douglas S. Russel reviews the medals and decorations Churchill received during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Hal Klepak evaluates Churchill’s experiences in Cuba, and Ronald I. Cohen introduces a rare article recording Churchills reflections on his role as war correspondant. Additionally, Ursula Corcoran provides insight into another aspect of Churchill’s military career with an article about Churchill, Woodstock and the Oxford Yeomenry Museum.
