During WWII, Clementine Churchill launched the Red Cross Aid to Russia Fund, rallying support from all walks of life. They raised £8M to provide vital supplies & medical equipment to those suffering from the Nazi invasion of Russia. A remarkable feat during UK wartime shortages. #WomensHistoryMonth

Two of the oldest #ArchivesHandwriting documents in our collection were signed by James Ley, first Earl of Marlborough, in 1625 and 1627. The title became extinct after four Earls, until John Churchill, Winston Churchill's ancestor, was made Earl (and later Duke) in 1689. 📜1968.13
