26-G_Box 70_1:  Invasion of Leyte, Philippines, 20 October 1944.  General Douglas A. MacArthur (wearing glasses) and his staff slog through the sand and muck that only a short time before had been cut up by the footprints of American first waves surging over the beaches of Leyte Island in the Philippines.  Calmly ignoring the peril of Japanese snipers, MacArthur landed early in the operation and surveyed the progress of his campaign to liberate the Philippines.   U.S. Coast Guard photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.   (2015/12/15).
