Dear all, I am preparing a review of :
Mark Harrison. Medicine and Victory: British Military Medicine in the Second World War. (Oxford UP 2004-2008). On p. 245 (2008 ed.), Harrison writes : "Shortly after D-Day Churchill (who did not like visiting hospitals) asked his Deputy Prime Minister, Clement Attlee, to inspect arrangements at Portsmouth". What is the evidence to substantiate Harrison's statement that Churchill "did not like visiting hospitals"? Indeed I have never seen photographs of him visiting a hospital - but surely List Members will have more information on this aspect of Churchill's personality ? Thank you in advance for any enlightenment, Best wishes to all, Professor Antoine Capet, FRHistS Head of British Studies University of Rouen Mont-Saint-Aignan 76821 (France) 'Britain since 1914' Editor, Royal Historical Society Bibliography [email protected] Fax from France : 02 35 14 00 88 Fax from the United Kingdom : 00 33 235 140 088 Fax from the United States : 011 33 235 140 088 Find references of publications on-line on the free website of the Royal Historical Society Bibliography : www.rhs.ac.uk/bibl ==================== --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
