As I work as a Volunteer Room Steward at Chartwell and was working there today I have passed this on to the NT House Team. I spoke with one of them also this PM and they said they have many unidentified items in store and this may be one of them as it sounded a little familiar. Does anyone have a description, or better, a picture of this item they could share? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Riddle Biggin Hill, Westerham Kent e-Mail: [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 21 Mar 2016, at 22:22, Terry Reardon <[email protected]> wrote: <https://onedrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0a1c1cae266d3f7d&page=play&resid=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!164&parId=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!163&type=1&Bsrc=Photomail&Bpub=SDX.Photos&authkey=!AFIuQxq8z1YHwsA> <-104539234611A3521.png> <https://onedrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0a1c1cae266d3f7d&page=browse&resid=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!163&parId=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!105&type=5&authkey=!AFIuQxq8z1YHwsA&Bsrc=Photomail&Bpub=SDX.Photos> Re: [ChurchillChat] Where is the "Victory Torch"? <https://onedrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0a1c1cae266d3f7d&page=play&resid=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!163&parId=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!105&type=5&authkey=!AFIuQxq8z1YHwsA&Bsrc=Photomail&Bpub=SDX.Photos> VIEW SLIDE SHOW <https://onedrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0a1c1cae266d3f7d&page=downloadphotos&resid=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!163&parId=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!105&type=5&Bsrc=Photomail&Bpub=SDX.Photos&authkey=!AFIuQxq8z1YHwsA> DOWNLOAD ALL This album has 2 photos and will be available on OneDrive until 19/06/2016. <https://onedrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=0a1c1cae266d3f7d&page=play&resid=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!165&parId=A1C1CAE266D3F7D!163&type=1&Bsrc=Photomail&Bpub=SDX.Photos&authkey=!AFIuQxq8z1YHwsA> <-5239105854F3DA154.png> Hi Samuel. Hello Samuel. I have a photograph, somewhere in my archives, of Ian Mackenzie the Minister of Pensions and National Health presenting the Torch to Winston Churchill – in the background is Canada’s High Commissioner, Vincent Massey. Massey’s memoirs comment on the occasion – as you will read he certainly wasn’t enamoured with the Torch – “It was quite appalling to contemplate....and designed according to the worst traditions of early Hollywood.” Ouch! But I agree that it would be interesting if the resting place of the Torch could be found.

Hi folks I am looking for an object I would really love to see, The Victory Torch. In June 1941, during a Canadian Victory Bonds Campaign, a Victory Torch was carried from western Canada to Québec city, eastern Canada, and then put on display in this city. This torch was then given to Churchill, at 10 Downing Street, in July 1941, but seems to have disapeared today. Any clue where this object could be? I would really like to see that. truly yours, Samuel Venière -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
