My page for Gen. Eisenhower

He certainly and more deserves a page. He also had a close relationship with the Philippines. On one of his duty tours he helped Gen. MacArthur establish the Philippine Army.

Gen. MacArthur and Gen. Eisenhower

Many times I have heard this when their relationship was discussed, that Gen. Eisenhower had said: “I studied dramatics under him”. Or that Gen Mac Arthur had said this about Gen. Eisenhower: “The best Clerk I ever had”.

A lot of people don’t know that Gen. Eisenhower worked seven (7) years for Gen MacArthur in their past.

The Association of the United States Army wrote this article about this subject and it is named:

Eisenhower and MacArthur: Toil, Trouble and Turbulence in the Philippines.

These 4 images of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and the picture descriptions are from this NARA URL: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/80684431. This URL has over 200 pictures and descriptions which document comings and goings at the Nichols Field 1941 to 1946; including Japanese bombs and the Japanese surrender delegation. This presentation is only about Gen. Eisenhower arriving at Nichols Field.

The researcher of the writing team of the new book “Relentless Hope: A True Story of War and Survival, by David L. Britt”, John Duresky made me aware of it.
