Charles Wilson, (Lord Moran)

As President of the Royal College of Physicians, 1941–50, he was active in the establishment of the National Health Service. Knighted in 1938, he became Lord Moran in 1943. His decision to publish his account of life with Churchill, including details of his physical decline, the year after Churchill’s death, was widely condemned for its questionable ethics, although it provided much informative detail for the historian. He died in 1977.
John Winant
    US Ambassador to Britain from 1941 to 1946, much respected and admired there. He was dining with Churchill when news of the attack on Pearl Harbor was received. Despite the high regard in which he was held, he suffered depression and committed suicide in 1947.
Lord Woolton

Created LordWoolton in 1939, he proved a successful and popular Minister of Food, overseeing rationing, and was Minister of Reconstruction from 1943 to 1945. He was subsequently a successful Chairman of the Conservative Party, helping to revive its post-war fortunes and modernise its organisation, thus contributing to his re-election. He died in 1964.
Woodrow Wyatt
    A journalist, author and a Labour MP, he served as Personal Assistant to Sir Stafford Cripps in India. He was knighted in 1983 and became Baron Wyatt of Weeford in 1987. He wrote three volumes of scandalously delicious diaries.
