this day in history........

I was thinking about stamps, as I occassionally do .. and wondered what stamps were issued today.. couldn't find any.. but I was surprised to find this

BBC news article

Hope you enjoy the link.. how things have changed in ... what is it, 56 years... I wonder if any stamps were ever issued to celebrate the author.. a FDC if you can tell me the author and if any stamps where ever issued to commemorate that person........ then I remembered that today was Richard Burton's birthday.. you remember him..... what a brilliant actor and such a wonderful voice. I have an album of him reciting Under Milk Wood. Were any stamps ever issued to remember him do tell me or maybe you can send a scan of the stamps so I can show everone else.. FDC to whoever replies to this part...
