The Churchill war ministry was a Conservative-led coalition government in the United Kingdom, which lasted for most of World War II. It was led by Winston Churchill, as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Formed in 1940, within a year of the war's outbreak, it was ended just after the war was won in 1945, resulting in a general election in which Labour, led by Clement Attlee, won by a landslide.

Heard only in the trances of the blast,

Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
