Winston Churchill with GKC

[...] in 1917 [Chesterton] was accompanying Winston Churchill (along with Churchill's cousin and GKC's secretary, Freda Spencer) to Warsash on the Solent to inspect seaplanes at Supermarine, Saunders-Roe and RNAS Calshot; Churchill had to rescue Freda when she fell into the Solent. It might be wondered what Gilbert's function was; possibly, together with more propaganda and recruiting speeches, he was also there in the capacity of a ghost-speechwriter for Churchill."

    Excellent!

    G.K. is a cultural, intellectual and spiritual hero, a true analyst of the modern times with his sharp and elegant british humor and wisdom of life enriched and powered by the treasure of catholicism.

    Thanks a lot, Mike for sharing this to other people.

    God bless your effort!
