Here MacArthur is shown in a photograph dated October 14, 1950, when he was directing United Nations forces in Korea after the Inchon landing that September had turned the war's course. The caption card's notes mention medals, which suggests the portrait may highlight the decorations from a career that ran from World War I through the Pacific campaign of World War II. The sitting came just before his meeting with President Harry Truman at Wake Island. The record is brief, so the exact occasion for the portrait is not documented here.
