A nice clear, crisp image of the Famous General in color. Appears to be close to WWI time line.

Interesting picture, Wayne.
Interesting image in that Douglas appears to be sitting on a King's Throne.

Ya' that would be MacArthur ...:tongue:

Can't tell form the photo but what rank do you believe he was holding at the time of the picture.
Any way to tell?

Larry, Judging by his age in this pic , it was taken quite a few years before WWII. No detailed timeline info was given.

Ill take a stab and go Lt Col/ Col but there isn't anyway to tell for certain with the uniform he is in. I think I have seen this picture before in B&W and it was from the early 1920's- 1921-22 ish.

I believe it was Colonel, WWI and he coined the nickname "Rainbow Division" for the 42 Div.

I had read about him in "American Caesar" by William Manchester.
