This 1949 photograph from General Jonathan Wainwright's personal album captures a bullfight in a Mexican arena packed with spectators. Wainwright, who commanded the doomed defense of Corregidor in 1942 and endured over three years as a Japanese prisoner of war, returned home a national hero after his 1945 liberation. Photographs like this document his postwar life, including travel and public appearances in the years following his ordeal. Project: 218339
