Early Life

He lived at boarding schools during the majority of his upbringing; their he was seen to be rebellious in nature. Despite his success in the field of English, Winston had a speech impediment that he struggled with for the better part of his life. In 1888 Winston set out to a military career, a accomplished scholar.

Military Career
Winston's career started in 1893 when he joined the cavalry. This decision was against his father's will, as he wished him to be in the infantry. Winston's reason for joining the cavalry was because of the lower requirements. In 1895 Winston was awarded the rank of cornet in the 4th queens own Hussars. From here he departed to Cuba to watch the Spanish fight the Cuban guerrillas. It is here that is believed he developed a taste for those Cuban cigars that he frequently smoked. In 1896 he was transferred to Bombay, India. In the 1897 he was involved in a conflict in Northern India called the siege of Malakand. Then in 1898 he was again transferred to Egypt, where he was involved in the battle of Omdurman. Also he started work with the morning post as a war correspondent around this period.
