Лот 285 | Two early signatures as a young officer
CHURCHILL, Winston S. (1874-1965). Document signed twice ("W. S. Churchill") as 2nd lieutenant, no place, 30 May & 30 August 1896.



Four pages, bifolium, 6 ⅝x 4 ⅞in. (16.8 x 11.3 cm.)



As an officer in the 4th Queen's Hussars, Churchill approves the clothing and savings bank account for William Brownslow. Following his graduation from Sandhurst in December 1894, Churchill was commissioned a second lieutenant. In October 1896, Churchill would travel with his regiment to India and was based in Bangalore. It would be there that he would commence a campaign of self-education in preparation for what would be a long and storied political career that began in earnest with his first election to Parliament in 1901. A good early pair of examples of Churchill’s signature.
