Matches – WWII General Douglas MacArthur

Wartime matchbook in a colorful paper wrapping with the flags of the USA and the Philippines and with MacArthur's name, signature and slogan.

On March 11, 1942, during WWII, General Douglas MacArthur and members of his family and staff left the Philippine island and his forces, which were surrounded by the Japanese. They traveled in patrol torpedo boats through stormy seas patrolled by Japanese warships and reached Mindanao two days later. From there, MacArthur and his party flew to Australia in a pair of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses, ultimately arriving in Melbourne by train on March 21, where he declared «I came through and I shall return».
