Signed page, measuring 4.5" x 3", undated, London, England. A small sheet containing

five individual signatures, among them journalist Edward R. Murrow, Randolph

Churchill (son of Winston Churchill), British politicians Duff Cooper and Manny

Shinwell, and Reese Littleton. Accompanied by a letter from World War II veteran Ralph

Hammond which describes an event he attended at the London Red Cross Headquarters

in which the autographs were obtained.

In part: "At that meeting, many of the Armed Force members had in advance requested that, after the speaking was over they would like to get autographs from the speakers...

The signatures which I obtained and still have and ready hand, are the 5 individuals listed above". Minor surface toning throughout with flattened crease to top right corner, else
