Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. WORLD WAR II ERA PERSONALITIES. A simply remarkable assemblage of dozens of prominent persons who have signed a guest book kept by a hotelier who ran an establishment near Oxford University in the years 1944-1948. All are penned in a blue leather covered, gilt-imprinted guest book, with high quality paper pages that have places for the name of the individual and their address. Page size: 7 x 9 ½ inches. The top of the page often bears an indication of the event the personality was attending, written in an unknown hand. Some of the signers are: ELIZABETH II. (1926-2022). Queen of the United Kingdom. Her signature, [written under her father s, King GEORGE VI]: Elizabeth R boldly signed as Princess, with a bold paraph under her signature. [October 24, 1946] KING GEORGE VI. (1895-1952).

Heading the top of another page is: EISENHOWER, DWIGHT DAVID. (1890-1969). Supreme allied Commander in WWII, and 34th President of the United States. He has boldly signed his name; Dwight D. Eisenhower and given his address as Abilene, Kansas , along with the date of Oct[ober] 25, 1945, on a page that is headed Honorary Degrees Encaenia [Encaenia is the ceremony at which the University of Oxford awards honorary degrees to distinguished men and women and commemorates its benefactors.] His humble use of his home address as Abilene, Kansas simply speaks volumes about the character of the man. Directly under Eisenhower s signature is penned the signature of: MONTGOMERY, BERNARD LAW. (1887-1976) [1ST Viscount Montgomery of Alamain, KG, GBC, DSO, PC, DL]. British Army Officer, famous for his North African tank Battles with German Field Officer, General Rommel. His bold signature B. L. Montgomery with his address written as British Army of the Rhine as his address. Then on the multiple pages that follow, we find: CHURCHILL, SIR WINSTON S. (1874-1965). Prime Minister of Great Britain. [His Conservative Party had been defeated in the July 1945 general election, forcing him to step down as P.M.] His signature Winston S. Churchill , with his address given as London in his hand. -- His wife, CLEMENTINE CHURCHILL, has boldly penned her signature on the page opposite her husbands and has given her address at 28 Hyde Park Gate [London].

He was deputy PM in the wartime coalition under Winston Churchill. His signature penned at the top of the page opposite that of Churchill s and LOUIS MOUNTBATTEN s. He signs C. R. Attlee and gives his address as 10 Downing Street , the Prime Minister s official residence. MOUNTBATTEN, LOUIS. (1900-1979). [1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, KG GCB OM GCSI GCIE GCVO DSO KStJ ADC PC FRS]. (1900 1979). British naval officer; colonial administrator; who was of German descent, born in England to the prominent Battenberg family and was a maternal uncle of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and a second cousin of King George VI.

KING, ERNST J. (1878-1956). Chief of Naval Operation (CNO) during World War II; U.S. Navy s second most senior officer. His bold signature Ernest J. King and giving his address as Washington, D.C. . In addition to the above, there are many more signees on the pages which we have not listed. One of the most interesting pages contains the entire Soviet Delegation to the World Trade Union Conference on February 3, 1945. An account at the time reported the event as: The World Labor Conference held in London in February is the first indication of the configuration of the world labor as a consequence of the war. Its main result is the entry of the Soviet trade unions into the newly established world trade union federation. This inevitable reorganization of the labor movement is the first expression of the cardinal role which the Soviet Union is bound to play in the field of international labor. Confronted with the alternative of cooperation with either the American Federation of Labor or the Soviet trade unions, the world labor movement has clearly made its choice. It has regretfully abandoned the A. F. of L and accepted leadership on the part of the Soviet trade unions . [Current History, vol 8, no 45 May 1945) pp 385-390] . Just a remarkable grouping in its own right! In our multiple decades of dealing with the finest in historical autographs, we can recall no other album of this type that so fully documents an important grouping of individuals of the WWII era, as this album does!
