Description
A superb, likely war-date association piece, a menu for a dinner given in honor of Field Marshal BERNARD LAW MONTGOMERY for his command of the British Eighth Army commencing on October 23, 1942. The printed menu features a caricature of Monty sitting with another general, possibly French, signed by Montgomery, WINSTON CHURCHILL and 17 other prominent military figures, including: General BRIAN HORROCKS (1895-1985) who commanded the X corps at Alamein; General JOHN HARDING (1896-1989), who commanded the 7th Armoured Division at Alamein; war reporter GODFREY TALBOT (d. 2000), who made his name with dispatches on the Desert Rats' campaign in North Africa; Major JOHN LAWSON; and others worthy of research. Churchill signs boldly on the cover, while the remainder on verso, some in pencil. Central fold, very good condition. A great war-date association.
