Help with Maurice Ashley quotes

[Antoine Capet]

Dear All,

When I prepared my Dictionnaire Churchill, I omitted to make a note of the
places where I found the original English quotations which I translated into
French.
Now drafting the ‘Maurice Ashley’ entry for the English version of the
Dictionnaire which I am preparing, I am stuck with two quotes – I cannot
find the source and the approximations which I googled yielded no results.

1) « C’est un horrible socialiste, mais quelqu’un de vraiment bien »
(Churchill
to Smuts)

The original must read something like " he is a horrible Socialist but a
really good man"

2) « Nous l’aimions tous énormément, et c’était un homme qui méritait de l’être
». (Ashley to Sir Martin Gilbert)

Something like :

‘We all loved him [Churchill] enormously, and he was a man who deserved to
be’.

Do they ring a bell to anyone ?

Thanks in advance for any clue.

With best wishes to all,

Dear Professor,

You need look no further than Martin Gilbert's In Search of Churchill. For quote (1): page 138. For quote (2): page 141.

Wilfred Attenborough

Dear Mr Attenborough,

Many thanks - also to Dave.

Hpw helpful the Churchill Chat is ! I was right to call for aid.

Stupidly, I did not look in In Search of Churchill (though I looked in Sir
Martin Gilbert's "small" one-volume biography and of course in the OB).

Best wishes to all,

A.C.
