He was among the first British troops into Ladysmith and Pretoria. As his coffin passed down the Thames from Town Pier to Festival Pier on the Havengore, dockers lowered their crane jibs in a salute.

Abdication Crisis
In June 1936, Walter Monckton told Churchill that the rumours that King Edward VIII intended to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson were true.
Both were taken as attacks on the Conservative front bench. It was for this reason that Churchill was relieved when Roosevelt was re-elected in 1940. In March 1909, the couple moved to a house at 33 Eccleston Square.
Their first child, Diana, was born in London on 11 July 1909.
