Lord Austin's Signature

[JonE]

Those other documents are fabulous - and all have what the slip of paper doesn't - context. The reason I thought it was unlikely to be fake is that: who would bother?! That typed card is plainly from the 50s, 60s or earlier.

It all seems rather sad that Austin lived less than 4 years after being made a hereditary peer, and even more so that his son died 30 years previously, ending that which could have run for centuries. Must have been rather bittersweet for him at the time of its award.
