Subject: RE: Thought for the Day - ANZAC Day
Yeah, Churchill sure made his fair share of mistakes, and I'm certainly no fan. Especially after his reluctance to release the Australian Divisions from the Middle East in WWII ( after Rommel had been defeated for the last time ) so they could return home to defend against the Japanese onslaught. But, if he hadn't of been around in WWII, tell me another Brit who was capable of rallying a dispirited nation and putting them on the road to victory ? I don't think anyone would disagree - that he was a "leader of his nation"
