Winston Churchill

Churchill suffered a serious stroke

Tuesday Jun 23, 1953
England, United Kingdom

On the evening of 23 June 1953, Churchill suffered a serious stroke and became partially paralyzed down one side. Had Eden been well, Churchill's premiership would most likely have been over. The matter was kept secret and Churchill went home to Chartwell to recuperate. He had fully recovered by November.
