Clementine called Winston “my sweet pug” and in turn he often drew little animated pictures of “pug” at the bottom of his letters to her. This one with the letter “W” above its head looks very similar to a bulldog that people often associate with the great man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinston Churchill’s Red Cabinet Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pen comes in a replica of one of Winston Churchill’s Red Cabinet Box – these are the brief cases used by ministers of the British Government to carry official papers.
