1890-1971 / Ashtead, Surrey

Mr. Churchill

Five years of toil and blood and tears and sweat;
Five years of faith and prophecy and plan!
He spoke our mind before our mind was set;
He saw our deeds before our deeds began.
He rode the hurricane as none did yet;
Our Finest Hour revealed Our Finest Man.
