WHAT'S NOT: THAT WINSTON CHURCHILL WAS A MASTER OF HIS SPEECH.
HE once famously said:`` My impediment is no hindrance,'' regarding his speech disability since he used to stutter/lisp tried not to do so in public functions. Churchill was a war correspondent and did an assignment in South Africa in 1899 . He was captured and held in a POW camp in Pretoria after war broke out between Britain and the Boer Republic. But instead of returning home, he rejoined General Redvers Buller’s army. This impressive feat, made him a sort of national hero. When he returned to England eight months later, it was on the very ship on which he sailed to South Africa. He was also a very good painter and made more than 550 paintings.
