Lord Denning was a veteran of World War I, but made his mark in life as a Judge. He was seen as a Judge for the common man, and many of his decisions ran counter to the law at the time. Some of his decisions were overturned on appeal, but others were confirmed by Parliament and became new laws. At the time of his death in 1999 at age 100, it was said he was the best loved and most well-known Judge in Britain's history.
His assistant wrote me a note explaining that Denning's health was poor and he was nearly blind so the signature was not his usual one, but as he himself put it in front of him to sign, it was genuine.
