CHAU3349  A vintage 1979 hand signed letter from Michael Carver on his private Ministry Of Defence own headed paper (you can see his name printed on the letter Field Marshall Sir Michael Carver at the top above the MOD London address) sent to Dr Elston Grey Turner (historic WW2 doctor and awarded the military cross - see below) - left edge has ripple and there is a very small lower right corner place but otherwise this is great condition (vg+ overall) - centrally folded once where originally posted by Michael Carver and personally hand signed by Michael Carver too - You will never get a better autograph opportunity for lifetime COA than his own headed paper from nearly 50 years ago.
