Women of Britain say Go!
Do you want a Husband your children will be ashamed of? No. Tell him to enlist now.
Fathers what will you say when they ask "Daddy what did you do in the war"?
OTL 97% of Belgium was occupied during the war, at this stage it is about 50%, with the tide flowing fairly hard in the other direction. Antwerp remains firmly in in allied hands and Brussels is threatened. There is hunger in Belgium but the British and Dutch are labouring to relieve it.Commission for Relief in Belgium started yet un Hoover like IOTL or is this something else going on here?
On a side note I have been a fan of Herbert Hoover for years, he introduced Square Sets to Broken Hill.Commission for Relief in Belgium started yet un Hoover like IOTL or is this something else going on here

Are you sure?Sigh. No.
Sir Winston (given name)
But
Lord Churchill (surname)
British PMs were effectively entitle to be a hereditary Earldom when they retired. MacMillan was the last to take it. Thatcher took a life peerage.Lloyd George became an Earl. But remember Churchill is unlikely to accept a peerage until his parliamentary career is at an end.
It depends on the rank. Most ennoblements today are Life Peerages where the person chooses their name, often their name and a location to distinguish between peers with the same name.Are you sure?
In modern times Lords appear to have a degree of choice (Lord Adonis is a modernish example) while many peerages appear to relate to place names (Marquis of Bath, Duke of Norfolk) historically and currently.
Unless Lords choosing a title name is a recent thing Lord Blenheim looks quite likely.
Thanks. That makes sense (well as far as the Lords and peerages ever make sense).British PMs were effectively entitle to be a hereditary Earldom when they retired. MacMillan was the last to take it. Thatcher took a life peerage.

Life Peers are Barons and addressed as Lord X
Hereditary peers have the various ranks e.g. Duke Earl, Marquess Viscount and Baron and are usually named after a location for the higher ranks and name for lower ranks although there are many exceptions..
Was it ever really away?Excellent timeline and happy to see it back @diesal
There has been one timeline that stopped in Jan 2008 and the author added the next message in Dec 2021 so nearly 14 years between posts, So there is always hope.Old Timelines doesn't die they just fade away... (and sometimes they comeback from the other side)
