Description
London, England. 1940-06-18. The British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, wearing his campaign medals, pictured after his, and the British people's, reply to Hitler and Mussolini. This was the speech that concluded ".....if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say `This was their finest hour'." He is lighting a cigar, his trademark.
