Dear Antoine:
Dr. Mather’s recommendation is a very good one as it appears that Douglas Russell does attempt to clarify this issue on page 68 and 69 of his excellent book, “Winston Churchill – SOLDIER – The Military Life of a Gentleman at War.” Hope this helps!

His book "Churchill SOLDIER" may have the answer. I have copied him on this email. John H.

Central Standard Time, <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] writes: Dear All, May I tap your expert knowledge once more ? 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.
