Yamashita (1885-1946) was the Japanese Imperial Army general of World War II noted for his capture of Malaya and Singapore. He was executed after a highly controversial trial in the Philippines for atrocities committed by soldiers under his command. In addition, the lot features two original Signal Corps post cards, and four copies of photographs. Condition: Very good. Small 2" tear in center of the flag.
