Talk:Duncan Sandys

Dinner conversation with the Prime Minister
As recounted by U.S. Air Force general Elwood R. Quesada in:

Shortly before the invasion of Normandy, Sandys attended a formal dinner hosted by his father-in-law, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, at which Sandys and Churchill scandalized the military guests present with the following exchange:


 * Sandys: Pops.


 * Churchill: Yes, my son?


 * Sandys: Would you give us a hand at this end of the table?


 * Churchill: I will try.


 * Sandys: We are trying to decide who is the greatest living statesman of our time.


 * Churchill: Mussolini!


 * Sandys: Well, why do you say that, Pops?


 * Churchill: The only statesman of our time with sufficient courage to murder his own son-in-law!

Those injuries.
Depending on which account you read, Duncan Sandys injuries were the result of a motoring accident when an exhausted driver fell asleep at the wheel while driving Duncan Sandys to a meeting.

So what happened to the driver?AT Kunene (talk) 13:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Much to my relief, while serving my apprenticeship Duncan Sandys also finally abolished National Service.AT Kunene (talk) 08:26, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
