Winston Churchill at Sandhurst

with two fellow cadets just

before his commission in the 4th

Queen’s Own Hussars, 1894.

Quote below: Churchill said this

to Sir Felix Semon, the throat

specialist he consulted about

his stuttering and struggles

pronouncing the letter S, something he never mastered and which he turned into a prop of his oratory.

“Of course it is not my intention to become a mere professional

soldier. I only wish to gain some experience. Some day I shall be a

statesman, as my father was before me.”
