EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Brigadier General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) of the American Expeditionary Forces during the final months of World War I. MacArthur, a native of Arkansas, served valiantly in both World Wars and the Korean War, making him one of the most decorated military figures in American history. In this image, taken on August 4, 1918, near the village of Fresnes (or Fresmes) in northern France, MacArthur dons the uniform of a brigadier general in the United States Army. At the time, he commanded the 84th Brigade of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division. The 42nd Division, also known as the "Rainbow Division," was a National Guard unit from various states that was mobilized for service in the European theater. MacArthur's leadership during this period was instrumental in the Allied advance towards the Western Front. The photograph's composition, with MacArthur standing confidently against the backdrop of a barren, war-torn landscape, underscores the immense challenges and sacrifices faced by soldiers during this global conflict. This powerful image is a testament to MacArthur's unwavering commitment to his country and his troops during a pivotal moment in world history.
