UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill, 1940-45 Figurine- Cultural Icons|W. Britain Miniatures

A statesman, army officer, orator, and writer, Churchill is arguably the most celebrated Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He joined the British Army in 1895 and was elected to Parliament in 1900. During WWI, he was First Lord of the Admiralty (until the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign), and in 1917, feeling remorse and the need for redemption, he joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers and served on the Western Front on the front lines. With a keen eye toward the future, Churchill warned of the growing threat of Nazism all through the 1930s, ultimately steering British involvement with the Allies over the Axis powers.

Since 1893, W. Britain has produced toy soldiers and military miniatures with attention to detail, quality, and authenticity. Each model figure is cast out of metal and hand-painted to the highest possible standards.
