MOSHE DAYAN
1957 Israeli first day cover signed by Moshe Dayan in Hebrew. This
first day cover was signed when Dayan was Israeli Chief of Staff.
First day cover signed "Moshe Dayan" in Hebrew. 5¼x3½. Israeli
first day cover. Postmarked Rafiah, Israel, March 4, 1957. One
purple-and-orange Israeli stamp affixed. FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. This
first day cover was postmarked when Dayan was Israeli Chief of Staff.
Dayan (1915-1981, born on Kibbutz Degania Alef, Palestine, now in Israel)
joined the Haganah militia force and was imprisoned by the British for his
involvement with them from 1939 to 1941. After serving in the British Army
during World War II, he fought in Israel's first war after independence in 1948,
losing his left eye. As Israeli Chief of Staff (1953-1958), Dayan is
credited with the Israeli Army's success in Gaza and the Sinai in the 1956 Suez
War. As Minister of Defense (1967-1974), he planned and commanded the
Six-Day War (1967). Dayan's star waned somewhat in Israel after 1973's Yom
Kippur War; he was blamed for Israel lack of preparedness in that war. He was
Foreign Minister from 1977 to 1979. Lightly toned and creased. Signature touches
stamp and postmarks. Light impressions on front and back. Paper loss on verso.
Otherwise in fine condition.
