Engstrom: This medal was commissioned by Lord Beaverbrook in honor of Churchill and the other members of the "1940 Club", organized by Beaverbrook for all those who had been close to him during his time as Minister of Aircraft Production, a position he accepted at the urging of his old friend Churchill and in which he serves from 1940 to 1941. The "1940 Club" dined together annually at Claridge's and it was one of the few functions that Churchill attended regularly in his last years. The medals (struck in gold, and in silver gilt) were presented to members of the club by Beaverbrook at the 1959 dinner; the portrait commemorated Churchill's eigthy-fifth birthday.
Issued by William Maxwell Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook, London.
