Lieutenant-Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Jack" Churchill was a British army officer during the second world war and beyond. He acquired two Distinguished Service Orders for his ability to go above and beyond the call of duty at the battle of Salerno. In addition to all this, he's my hero. For his bravery on the battlefield and his eccentric attitude for all his exploits in life. Jack Churchill is the essence of the man I want to be. There is no one event or experience that inspires me, but rather his entire outlook on life and his extreme bravery, even in the face of great adversary.
In 1936 he lived in Nairobi, Kenya, where he worked as a newspaper editor and as a male model. Also, he became extremely proficient with the bow as well as the bagpipe, which allowed him to land a role in the 1924 film, "The Thief of Bagdad", as well as in the 1938 film, "A Yank at Oxford." in 1938 he took second place at the military piping competition at the Aldershot Tattoo. In addition, in 1939 he represented Great Britain at the World Archery Championships in Oslo. Even at a relatively young age, he was excelling in multiple different areas in his life, this is one of the many aspects of his personality that makes him a hero to me, because he’s a jack of all trades and didn’t waste his life but rather lived it to the maximum.
Adolf Hitler invades Poland in 1939 and the dawn of the second world war has begun. Churchill had served in the military prior and had served in Burma during
To me, Winston is definitely a hero, not a perfect hero. Winston´s flaws, in my eyes, do not take away from his heroism. The reasons why he is still a hero of this novel I will be discussing in the following paragraphs.
On September 1, 1939, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. This led to a widespread war across many nations. This war was later called World War II. Before Germany invaded Poland, both America and Germany were going through a Great Depression. In the war, there were two sides, The Allies,(including America and
Jack Churchill was born in Hong Kong on September 16, 1906. Along with his military fame, he was a model and a movie actor due to his skills with the longbow. In 1926, Churchill was commissioned to the British Manchester Regiment. After just 10 years, he retired from the military in 1936.
Its 4:45am and the sound of gunfire fills the air as 1.5 million Germans flood the streets of Poland. Led by Adolf Hitler on September 1st, 1939, this marked the start of World War Two. Hitler claimed the invasion was a defensive strategy, but Britain and France were not convinced. A few days later, the two countries declared war on Germany and started a major conflict. As tensions continued to rise and more countries joined the fight, the United States prepared itself for war.
On one hand, Churchill became well known because “in 1953, Queen Elizabeth made Winston Churchill a Knight of the Order of the Garter” (“Winston S. Churchill”). Before being knighted, Churchill gave many motivational speeches after an attack in 1940 (“Winston Churchill”). On the other hand, Churchill worked with President Roosevelt and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin to make a war strategy and create a peaceful world after the war (“Winston Churchill Biography”). Winston Churchill had two strokes and died nine days after the second one on January 24, 1965 at the age of 90 (“Winston Churchill”). Because of his hard work, Winston Churchill is remembered as a great leader and Prime Minister during World Wars I and II.
Churchill served as a soldier from 1896 to 1897. He also worked as a journalist in India. In 1898 he fought in the battle of Omdurman in Sudan. He was captured by the Boers and made a daring escape. Upon returning to England in
In the early hours of the 1st September 1939 German forces invaded Poland. 21 years after the end of World War I, the world had to face the beginning of another world war that should last 6 years. World War II was one of the most disastrous events in human history causing approximately 60 million deaths and destruction almost all over the globe (msn Encarta 2008). Winston Churchill wrote in the preface of his book about World War II (The Gathering Storm):
World War Two is considered to have begun with the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, when Hitler attempted to take back German territories lost after the First World War. In order to prevent Soviet opposition to the invasion of Poland, Hitler and Josef Stalin
The journey of a hero usually begins with downfall and ends with success. However, with Winston it is the other way around, his journey starts at success and ends with downfall. But that shouldn’t unqualify him from being a hero. Winston Smith is the hero of the novel because he shows courage, and has a strong mentality and he continuously looks past limitations. He basically was willing to do anything for what he believed in, an example of this could be when he made a promise to O’Brien saying that he was going to do anything for the brotherhood even if it meant he had to hurt children.
This war was more brutal than World War I. On September 1, 1939 Hitler had sent his armies into Poland. A few days after Hitler sent his armies into Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. In which this happening World War II had began. The Germans used airplanes to bomb and machine gunned targets in Poland. And later on the war expanded along German borders from Belgium and Switzerland.

The year was 1940; the world’s second great World War was in full swing, with Britain and Germany at the forefront. The fall of Britain’s closest ally, France, stunned the British Empire and threw it into disarray. Through the chaos, Winston Churchill emerged. Churchill would be an inspiring leader who was able to rally the entire nation in times of hardship. Through his leadership, the “British Bulldog” would face the Axis powers and come out victorious, as well as become a public hero for the British people. Yet, immediately after the war, Churchill did not return to the prime minister seat because of a shocking defeat in his re-election, despite his immense reputation he gained from the war. Though lauded by the British population for his prowess as a wartime leader, Churchill’s conservative politics were out of touch with a population ready for post-war relief and led to his defeat in the 1945 election.
To begin, the two leaders both had similar childhoods and family lives leading to their leadership. The Right Honourable Sir Winston
World War II began when Germany invaded Poland when Hitler tried convincing Britain and France that the invasion was a defensive act by bringing living space for the Germans but Britain and France was not convinced. “Hitler gave orders for the Poland invasion to begin on August 26, but on August 25 he delayed the attack when he learned that Britain had signed a new
