This candid portrait, taken aboard a boat during General Jonathan M. Wainwright's 1949 travels, captures the weathered features of the celebrated WWII commander in a relaxed, informal moment. Wainwright, who endured over three years as a Japanese prisoner of war following the fall of Corregidor and Bataan in 1942, became a national hero upon his 1945 liberation and remained a figure of public fascination throughout the postwar years.
