    Trying to find where he was that day, I think I have an autograph of his and this date is typed next to it

    The only mention in Alanbrooke is "Archie Wavell dining with PM" and then on 29th April : "...Portal informed me that PM last night had decided to start with Chiefs of Staff for Washington on Wednesday next...." So Churchill certainly seems to have been in London in the evening at least.

    According to the Churchill Archives For Schools website, he sent a paper to the War Cabinet on 28th April 1943. Where he was when he did this I don't know though.

    Images of the signature attached - this was tucked in the back of an RASC lads paybook that I've had for maybe 20 years - looking online a full autograph seems normal but there are a few with just initials, no reason to think this isn't right, from memory it wasn't mentioned when I bought the book, I'm sure if it was I'd remember or at the very least be aware I had it.

    The 4th example on this webpage shows another example in red dated for 1940:
    Churchill Initials

    Looks good to me.
