Edward Teddy Gueritz D-Day Veteran War Hero Hand Signed FDC & COA

STB014  This is a vintage appearance but  20 years ago FDC for D-Day hero Edward "Teddy" Gueritz who served as beachmaster on Sword, organising the flow of men and materiel into the beachhead, including 30,000 troops on the first day. 19 days later he was severely wounded and evacuated to the United Kingdom where he required life-saving surgery.  This is an antique apperance with WW2 postmark but is a 2004 FDC hand signed by Edward Gueritz to accompany the special commemorative postmarks and as he passed shortly afterwards this is surely one of the last signings he made of its kind and is in near mint condition (ex). From searching the web it seems unavailable worldwide and comes with the certificate of authenticity from the publishers which I have placed behind the FDC (this is folded when posted with the cover to the collector which is how I will send but the cover is literally outstanding).
