Dear All, A colleague writes :
I finding it very difficult to trace an origin for the phrase "Action This Day," employed by the Churchill ministry during WWII. Although I have found non-Churchillian origins for a great number of wartime things credited to him, I can't find anything about this (not even a reference to when Churchill himself might have conceived it). I strongly suspect that it was invented by a civil servant or whatever passed for an organizational management guru in those days, but so far I've had no luck. It may also have been a Bletchley-Park-ism, but I can't find that either.
Any clues ? Any references to books or articles ?
