President Sergio Osmena Proclamation flier
Title
President Sergio Osmena Proclamation flier
Description
A flier issued by the Allied Forces during World War II after the return of General Douglas MacArthur and President Osmena to the Philippine Islands in 1944. The flier was probably airdropped to the citizens of the Philippine Islands soon after General MacArthur and President Osmena landed in October, 1944. It is a proclamation written by President Sergio Osmena urging the Filipino citizens to rally their support for General Douglas MacArthur and the American troops. The flier is numbered '15-F-6'. This is one item from a scrapbook of propaganda leaflets and related materials that was compiled by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area during World War II. The scrapbook belonged to Colonel Karl F. Baldwin of the United States Army, who helped establish the propaganda program. It contains approximately 200 pieces of propaganda, mostly in Japanese, that were intended for distribution in the Philippines, Japan, and other nearby areas.
