Recognised as one of Britain’s most memorable leaders during the Second World War, Sir Winston Churchill was influenced by his early experiences in the Queen’s 4th Hussars and his work as a war correspondent. Churchill received a Nobel Prize in Literature for his extensive written work and was the first person outside of the Royal Family to receive a state funeral.

The medal in this set also features a portrait of Churchill.
