Prime Minister 1916 - 1922

David Lloyd George was on top of the world, Prime Minister of Great Britain, MP for Caernarfon Boroughs, in the process of bringing the bloodiest war the world had ever seen to an end and travelling to the city of his birth, Manchester, to receive the Freedom of the City. Women from the munitions factories and soldiers at home filled the streets from Piccadilly station to Albert Square in the city centre to welcome their hero - the man of the people. When shock, horror, he contracted Spanish Flu. It was 'touch and go'. He survived. But over 250,000 Britons and millions worldwide were not so lucky.
