Since you were there when Chamberlain resigned I think you would be the best person to answer this question: who would be the next best choice if Churchill wasn't available?

I did say I was sixteen when war broke out.
Like many other kids of that age in that era I grew up fast so that by the time I was called up at the age of nineteen I had matured enough to be able to fend for myself in any hostile environment.
However, I was still politically "Green" and so I honestly can't remember discussing politics with my peers.
This has meant that all my political acumen has been established
since those days and your opinion of "who was most likely to have taken over" has as much value as my own.
This doesn't stop me however from expressing my evaluation of Churchill as a leader during the war years and on this I remain adamant.
Cometh the hour and cometh the man.
The man was Churchill.
