Dear Antoine, I bet Doug Russell can clarify this. His book "Churchill SOLDIER" may have the answer. I have copied him on this email. John H. Mather MD FACPE 240 353 6782 [email protected]

I am curently writing a Dictionnaire Churchill for a French publisher. Earlier today, I was working on the Sandhurst entry, and found a discrepancy in WSC's rank when he left. In vol 1 of the OB, Randolph writes : He passed out 20th in a class of 130 (Heinemann, first page of Chapter 7, p. 242) WSC himself writes in My Early Years : I passed out with honours eighth out of my batch of a hundred and fifty (Penguin, p. 66) How can that be explained ? With all best wishes for the coming year, A.C.
