MANILA DAILY MAIL, P.I. [Philippine Islands], April 19, 1945
* Rare U.S. military occupation publication
A very rare title that began earlier in the month, this being the volume 1, number 5 issue.
The liberation of the Philippines began on October 20, 1944 when MacArthur famously waded ashore. The U.S. First Calvary arrived at Manila on February 3, 1945. Major inroads by the Allies were made by mid-June with the Philippines being officially liberated on July 5, 1945, some three months after this newspaper began.
This issue announces: "SOVIETS HAMMERING BERLIN" with smaller heads: "Patton's Tanks In Sudetenland Bisect Germany" "German Night-Flying Planes Forbidden to Land in Spain" "Roxas Bares he Was Marked for Execution by Japs Here" and more.
Complete as a single sheet issue, 9 1/2 by 14 inches, minor margin wear, good condition.
