Mary Churchill (later Baroness Soames)was the youngest of Winston and Clementine Churchills five children. She worked for the Red Cross and the Womens Voluntary Service between 1939 and 1941 and joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service with whom she served in London, Belgium and Germany in mixed anti-aircraft batteries, rising to the rank of Junior Commander. She also accompanied her father as aide-de-camp on several of his overseas journeys, including his post-VE trip to Potsdam, where he met with Harry S. Truman and Joseph Stalin.
