    "I Shall Return" Matches Match Box for Cigarettes.  Printed Signature of General Douglas MacArthur.  Please see above description and photos.  Matches are present.  See the photos for condition.  The packages were developed to raise the morale of the Philippine Guerillas and US Forces fighting the Japanese Occupation Forces in the occupied Philippines during WWII.  They were to be shipped by submarine to air bases and then flown and dropped to the US and Philippine Forces behind Japanese lines.
