Hi All, Had something interesting come my way today some Arnhem First Day Covers... Whats interesting is who signed them.... So here you go 1 Major General Roy Urquhart No 7 of 92 2 Major General John Frost 52 of 94 3 Major General Allan Adair Guards Armoured 4 Brigadier Mike Dauncey GPR 5 Lewis Golden adjutant 1st Airborne 6 Geoffrey Powell 156 Para 7 Jimmy Edwards 271 Sqn 8 Arnhem signed by 4 Anthony Deane Drummond Ian Toler & John Waddy 9 Tony Hibbert 1st Airborne
7 Jimmy Edwards 271 Sqn Would that be Jimmy Edwards as in Comedy actor Jimmy Edwards? I see he piloted a Dakota into Arnhem, and was shot down.
Congrats, nice covers, could the 4th signature on number 8 be Colonel Patrick Rupert Richard de Burgh-HQ RA 1st Airborne? Ron
hmm do you also collected Arnhem book Paul? going to the printer within a hour to have a look I have one or two! What are you looking for at the printers??
