Original handwritten menu, done in an unknown hand, 3.25 x 5, with one side imprinted “The Escaped Officers’ Club, Freedom – but not forgetfulness,” listing 42 officers captured, by country (Germany, Turkey, South Africa), with the reverse bearing a handwritien menu for a five-course meal. Signed in pencil on the menu side, “W. S. Churchill,” and ten other members of The Escaped Officers’ Club listed on the menu have signed in ink or pencil: Major Fox (twice, once on each side), Captain Gilliland, Captain Keeling, Lieutenants Dale, Harding, Insall, Russell, Williams, Wilson, and Wingfield. Menu is also signed by seven others as well. In very good condition, with light contrast to Churchill’s signature over menu, light surface loss along top edge of reverse, and some scattered light toning and soiling.
