Passports

[Director, Churchill Archives Centre]

Dear all,

 

Further to your discussion, a quick search of our catalogue reveals that his archives contain passports for Churchill for 1893, 1918 and 1940.

 

All best wishes,

 

Allen

Dear Allen,

Many thanks - of course I meant a British passport, not honorary ones.

I wonder whether his 1893, 1918 and 1940 passports bear the usual foreign
stamps. If Yes, they must be extremely numerous.

I do not know how long current UK passports are valid for. I suppose the law
has changed and that they used to be valid for a longer period than now. In
that case, the three passports at Cambridge might well be all he had (though
he went to France as a boy, before 1893 - but at the time perhaps passports
were not needed).

All very fascinating !

A pity they are not displayed (one at least opened) at Chartwell or the
Churchill Museum.


With all best wishes,

A.C.

Sir Winston's last British passport is also on display at Chartwell, loaned by his great-grandson Randolph.

Antoine and all,

After seeing the interesting topic of Churchill’s passports on the chat group, I have published a new post on A Blog on Winston Churchill with an image of the first page of Churchill’s 1918 passport. The post is available at:

Best,

Brad
