Allen Packwood
The following may be of interest. They relate to a Churchill poem being sold at auction on which I was asked to comment.

Has anyone any idea who is the only woman (in the middle ground, above Churchill's cap) on the famous photograph of Churchill on
the east bank of the Rhine on 25 March 1945 :

By the way, what uniform is he wearing ?
Thank you in advance for any enlightenment,

The Churchills: A Naval History published in Finest Hour No 110, Spring 2001 pp 26-7 details the service of HMS Churchill, ex USS Herndon, later USSR Dyeyatielnyi. The destroyers for bases agreement is dealt with in Fifty Ships that Saved the World: The Foundation of the Anglo-American Alliance by Philip Goodhart, 1965. The definitive work on the whole class of over 250 destroyers is Flush Decks and Four Pipes by John D Alden, 1965. In addition to Conway’s All the World’s Fighting Ships, those outside the US may have easier access to Jane’s Fighting Ships of World War II, foreword by Anthony Preston, 1989 which is a reprint of the 1946/7 edition of Jane’s supplemented by information from pre-war editions to cover the losses during the war.
Most opinions of the usefulness of the destroyers is less than positive. However, they did provide practical assistance at a critical time when no other resources were available. I have recently acquired a copy of Lend-Lease, Weapon for Victory by Edward R Stettinius, Jr, 1944 which provides a more positive contemporary view. Stettinius was appointed by Roosevelt as Commissioner for Industrial Materials , the position responsible for the implementation and administration of Lend-Lease until his appointment as Under Secretary of State late in 1943.
I have not come across any significant information about the role of the bases. The 99 year rights to bases in Newfoundland and Bermuda were “freely given” and strategically located for operations in the North Atlantic and thus make a direct contribution to the defence of the US. The rights to the Bahamas, Jamaica, St Lucia, Trinidad, Antigua and British Guiana were “traded.” These locations are more suited to operations in the Caribbean and in Latin America.
The greatest legacy of the agreement is the political climate this step provided between the “cash and carry” policy and the implementation of “Lend-Lease.”

I was deeply repulsed tonight to hear that Chris Matthews on MSMBC called my Senator' Ted Cruz' a political terrorist! He is a member of the Churchill Centre Board of Trustees!
I have been a long supporting member of our group and I love Sir Winston Churchill, but if Chris Mathews is not removed from this board, I will never ever support the Centre again in any manner. I am a Winston Churchill Associate, a former member of the Board of Governors, a former member of the Board of Trustees, a Fellow Member on membership and a total loyal supporter of our group.
Sir Winston would have never attacked an MP, opposition or otherwise, in this manner. He's gotta go now!
We have never stood for attacks of this nature within our organization. I call upon our Chairman to remove this cancer from our group of admiring Churchillian's as He is a detriment to our cause.
Very Sincerely,
Marcus Frost

- I am delighted to see Ted Cruz evoking "terror" among those on the left. They do so deserve it.
How are you and Molly these days?

True, but it doesn’t make Senator Cruz a “terrorist”.

Pretty broad.
Webster’s definition: “the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion”
I do not believe that throwing around a word like “terrorist” because we don’t like a person’s approach is appropriate or helpful. WSC often used words to describe his opponents that were hardly complementary and that is part of the game but I don’t recall him throwing around the word “Nazi” very lightly . Also, due to the events of the last decade and the lives that are still being lost through the use of terror, it would be better if opponents were more sensitive to its use and chose to stick to their arguments rather than using a description that is unfitting. I realize this I may be naïve, but that does not invalidate my point.
