Warwick Castle - Guy's Porridge Pot Prior to 1945

            The Postcard

A postally unused postcard that was produced for the Warwick Castle Estate Office by Walter Scott of Bradford. The photograph shows the ancient 'Porridge' pot which belonged to the Saxon hero Guy, Earl of Warwick.  It was used to cook stew for the garrison.

The card has a divided back, upon which is printed:

"We have to gain the victory.
That is our task."
- The Prime Minister.

The quotation is from a speech given by Winston Churchill in August 1940. Here is the context of the quotation:

"The right to guide the course of world history 
is the noblest prize of victory. We are still toiling 
up the hill; we have not yet reached the crest-line 
of it; we cannot survey the landscape or even 
imagine what its condition will be when that 
longed-for morning comes.
The task which lies before us immediately is at 
once practical, more simple and more stern. 
I hope - indeed I pray - that we shall not be found 
unworthy of our victory if after toil and tribulation 
it is granted to us. 
For the rest, we have to gain the victory. That is 
our task."
-- Winston S. Churchill, 20th. August 1940.

The nature of the quotation indicates that the card was published during WWII before the end of hostilities in 1945.
