Description
Robert Lawrence Eichelberger (9 March 1886 – 26 September 1961) was a general officer in the US Army who commanded the 8th Army in the Southwest Pacific Area during WWII. Eichelberger led American and Australian troops in the bloody Battle of Buna–Gona. In 1944, he had notable victories at Hollandia and the Battle of Biak. As Commanding General of the newly formed Eighth Army, Eichelberger led the invasion of the Southern Philippines, clearing the islands of Mindoro, Marinduque, Panay, Negros, Cebu, and Bohol. By July 1945, his forces had defeated the Japanese on Mindanao. In August 1945, Eichelberger's Eighth Army began a three-year stint as part of the Occupation of Japan. He retired from the Army at the end of 1948. Nice bamboo frame. The frame is nailed at the corners and loose. They will need to be reattached or even glued at the corners. That imperfection does not affect the photo or signature itself. Approximate size is 12.75 x 10.5 inches.
