Dear Don,
As I said to Dr Mather, I cannot at the moment lay my hands on my copy of
Douglas Russell's book.
Could you please tell us the substance of his conclusions ? Who is right -
father or son ?
Best wishes,
A.C.

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!
Sincerely,
Don

Dear Antoine,
I bet Doug Russell can clarify this. His book "Churchill SOLDIER" may have
the answer.
I have copied him on this email.

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.
