Editor's Take:
Clement Attlee led one of Britain's most transformative governments. He was a middle-class lawyer who was shaken by poverty in London's East End, where he did charity work. He served in the First World War, including at Gallipoli. As Labour leader he was deputy prime minister in Churchill's wartime coalition. In 1945 he won a landslide victory. His government created the National Health Service and nationalised major industries. It also granted independence to India and Pakistan. Quiet and modest, he was often underestimated.
