    Very sorry to learn of your difficulties ma'am, though I am glad to hear from you again. I know that some of us here were very concerned about your well being. Hope things start looking up soon. The puzzles are trivial pastimes. Life takes precedence. I look forward to seeing you return to active participation once things settle down. Thank you for letting us know you and your family are okay. My best wishes for your husband's recovery.

    Class attendance and involvement seem to have been very low - despite the 'read without tears' text. Good students: butterflyice, rohsiK, Viswa, Akanksha, surekhaP.

    jskls, did you get the answer? deepslikes, jag, soka, gauri - I presume you have already got the answer to the puzzle!

    Now should I wait a while longer or give out the answer of my puzzle?

    Sorry Satchi! Yes I got the answer. He would make a good European history puzzle too. Just been going crazy at work. Got to the puzzle quite late after a number of clues had been posted, so didn't post anything.

    Yes Gauri, that is why I offered to put up my name for both Indian as well as European puzzle. Would fit either way.

    Img 1: Clementine - Churchill's wife was called Clementine.

    Img 2: Copper knob - The name given to Churchill in school because of his red hair.

    Img 3: Refers to 'bull dog' - what Churchill was called (the British bulldog) as well as to the 'black dog' - the prolonged bouts of depression he suffered.

    Img 4: Everest - his nanny who played an important role in his life.

    Img 6: He was made an honorary citizen of the U.S.

    Img 7: Was considered the best polo player of his regiment.

    Img 8: He was transferred to Bombay. The Bombay Regiment.

    Img 9: His governess tried to teach him reading, writing and arithmetic and his first reader was "Reading without tears". BTW,


    Additional images: He came to Bangalore in 1896 as a young army officer. He was also a member of the Freemasons.
