Thank you for curing my ignorance on that matter.

I think maybe the fiver would be good for Sir Churchill, after all. It is more commonly used, I would think.

I have a shining respect for the man, he was just as much an American hero as Washington, he is vastly underrated here across the pond amongst the "rubes". (I.e: people who do not appreciate history)

He was the man the world needed. And Britain stood with him.

He had a unique insight on America, being half-American.

He was a great man, period. Like all great men, and all men for that matter, he did good and he did ill. In the end, he left his indelible mark on humanity, and for all of us that is all that we can ask.
