HMS Undaunted and Ike's Flag-- Part 2: Indelible Pencil Dipped in Whiskey

This is the inscription that goes along with the flag:

"Flag presented to the Officers and Men of the HMS Undaunted by General Eisenhower.  During the afternoon of 7 June 1944, HMS Undaunted embarked General Eisenhower, Admiral Ramsay and their staffs, whose ship had grounded.

"This flag was hoisted on the starboard yard arm.    General Eisenhower signed his name across two of the stars, using indelible pencil dipped in whiskey."
