i was reading somewhere that when he was taken prisoner in the second boer war, near Chieveley, Natal, on an attack on the armoured train he was on, he was carrying a pistol with dumdum rounds.
these were declared unlawful on pain of death. foretunately for him he dumped it before being caught.
so i was thinking... what would happen to the future if he had been caught with these on his person?
if this is the POD and winston gets a bullet for his troubles, would Gallipoli campaign still go ahead in WW1? as i thought he was the main driving force behind it as Lord of Admirilaty.
and who would take his place ni this role? and future roles?
eastern europe would have something other then "an iron curtain" after world war 2?
