| 28. Winston Churchill |

carried a 1911 under his coat during the War. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, was formally advised by the British cabinet to take her daughters to Canada until the war was over. She refused to go, stoutly declaring that ''the princesses would never leave without me, and I wouldn't leave without the king, and the king will never leave.'' Instead, she remained in London, enthusiastically taking target practice at the palace with a revolver that was a gift from the new prime minister, Winston Churchill.
