When asked why he was so brave, even foolhardy, in battle, Churchill repied that he “ just knew” that he wouldn’t be killed because he always felt he was needed to fulfill a higher purpose, i.e., leading Britain against Hitler in World War Two. Fanciful? Maybe, but he survived, didn’t he!

I guess that there might have been equally fool-hardy people who didn't survive to fulfill their higher purpose. I guess that, if you survive you call it "destiny" and if you don't your obituary ascribes "bad luck".

@@euansmith3699 Can't deny the truth of what you say. I think the difference with Churchill was that he always stated the certainty of his survival many years before he ever went to war and hence he was always in the thick of the action.

The malakand field force is a book which is written by Winston Churchill . this book is the first book of Churchill. He was a great soldier, a great leader but beside this, he was a great writter . he honored by nobel prize in literature.. In 1996 he came malakand as a soldier man . and a fort where he stayed is unhamed even now . and we call it a Churchill piquet

Can I as a historian clarify - this incident took place in the Mohmand country on 16th September 1897 and has nothing to do with the Sikhs at Saragarhi. That was later in the campaign. But the Indian Army infantry shown in action are Sikhs, to be exact men of the 35th Sikh Infantry; after 1922 this became the 10th battalion, 11th Sikh Regiment. The men who fought and died so bravely at Saragarhi were from Colonel Haughton`s 36th Sikhs, after 1922 this was the 4th battalion, 11th Sikh Regiment.

@@camex911 Dear Kamal - all honour to your great grandfather who, like you, I am assuming, was/is Afridi. The incident, as I said, was on 16th September 1897 and is clearly documented. To be exact it took place about 11am on the approach to the village of Shahi-Tangi in the Mohmand Valley while Churchill served with the Malakand Field Force. Praise to all who fought and died during the Raj on the North West Frontier. Allah Akbar.

"Give"? Those were about 24 Sikhs, if I remember, and they fought with around 1000 or more Afghans bravely a in man to man combat and shootouts... They all died fighting for Her Majesty. So, I wouldn't say "give" is an appropriate term?

Nothing at all to do with "revisionist history". Churchill was one of the very main players in defeating the evil Nazi doctrine under Adolf Hitler. If anything it is the modern or revised view of history which has sought to smear & redact the great war leader's legacy. And Labour came to power after the end of WW2 by promising free health care & a welfare state to an exhausted war weary population. Winston Churchill himself (as opposed to the Tory party) remained in the highest esteem of the majority of British people.
