Yes, this is him with a Thompson submachine gun. He also rode on horseback with the British Calvary in the Battle of Omdurman in 1898....

I have this same gun, the Thompson's drum was quickly replaced for a magazine at the request of Allied soldiers.

Churchill was also a savage verbal duelist.
quote:
In exasperation, Lady Astor exclaimed, "Winston, if I were married to you., I'd put poison in your coffee!" To which Churchill replied, "And if you were my wife, I'd drink it."
quote:
the woman finally snarled, "Mr. Churchill, you are drunk!"
"And you, madam," responded Churchill, "are ugly. But I shall be sober tomorrow."
quote:
George Bernard Shaw once sent Churchill a note with an invitation to see Shaw's opening night performance of Saint Joan. The playwright enclosed two tickets, "One for yourself and one for a friend _ if you have one."
Expressing sorrow at not being able to attend, Churchill wrote back and asked for tickets for the second night _ "if there is one."
quote:
One time Churchill and a male servant got into a quarrel. Eventually, they made up and Churchill sheepishly said to the offending servant: "You were very rude to me, you know." The servant replied: "Yes, but you were rude too." Churchill responded: "Yes, but I am a great man."
quote:
On one occasion he threw the House of Commons into pandemonium by beginning a speech: "I rise to commit an irregularity. The intervention I make is without precedent, and the reason for that intervention is also without precedent, and the fact that the reason for my intervention is without precedent is the reason why I must ask for a precedent for my intervention."
quote:
Evaluating a speech by a fellow member of Parliament, Churchill once said: "He spoke without a note and almost without a point."
quote:
A member of Parliament from the other side once complained loudly: "Must you fall asleep when I am speaking?" To which Winston replied: "No, it is purely voluntary."
quote:
Churchill on one occasion rose in the House of Commons and announced: "History will say that the right honorable gentleman was wrong in this matter." Pausing, he added, "I know it will, because I shall write the history."
quote:
When asked what should be done if Stanley Baldwin, three-time prime minister from 1923 to 1937, should die in office, Churchill quickly replied, "Embalm, bury, and cremate. Take no chances!"
quote:
On Churchill's 80th birthday, a young photographer told Churchill he'd like to photograph him on his 100th birthday. "I don't see why not, young man," replied Churchill. "You look reasonably fit to me."

THE CHURCHILL WIT
by Michael O'Donoghue
Churchill was known to drain a glass or two and, after one particularly convivial evening, he chanced to encounter Miss Bessie Braddock, a Socialist member of the House of Commons, who, upon seeing his condition, said, "Winston, you're drunk." Mustering all his dignity, Churchill drew himself up to his full height, cocked an eyebrow and rejoined, "Shove it up your arse, you ugly cvnt."
When the noted playwright George Bernard Shaw sent him two tickets to the opening night of his new play with a note that read: "Bring a friend, if you have one," Churchill, not to be outdone, promptly wired back: "You and your play can go frick yourselves."
At an elegant dinner party, Lady Astor once leaned across the table to remark, "If you were my husband, Winston, I'd poison your coffee."
"And if you were my wife, I'd beat the shite out of you," came Churchill's unhesitating retort

A great but flawed man. Fantastic in war time, terrible in peace, and honestly atrocious to India

Dude could drink, eat and talk BS like a boss but by no means was he a boss in the field

He escaped from POW camp twice in the Boer war.
He felt so guilty about Gallipoli he volunteered for the frontlines in France.
He is almost inarguably the reason the UK held on in WW II and thus shortened the war by years. Hitler always had his eye more on Russia of course, his great blunder. But with little pressure from the west who knows how that’d turned out.
And he would start drinking before noon and stay up til 4 am.
