This sketch card features a detailed drawing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, one of the most influential figures in the Philippines during World War II. MacArthur is depicted in his iconic military uniform, complete with his trademark corncob pipe and cap. He is famous for his military leadership during the Japanese occupation, orchestrating the defense of Bataan and Corregidor, and later leading the successful campaign to liberate the Philippines. His famous quote, "I shall return," became a symbol of hope and determination for the Filipino people during the war. The sketch card captures both his commanding presence and his enduring legacy in Philippine history. Created and signed by Edward Santia.
