Four-star general (1883-1946), aka ‘Vinegar Joe’ and ‘Old Joe,’ best known for his service in China. Relieved from command in 1944 as part of FDR’s geopolitical maneuvering in Asia, Stilwell was reassigned to command the American ground forces during the final battle for Okinawa in 1945. Vintage matte-finish 7.5 x 9.25 head-and-shoulders portrait of Stilwell in his military uniform, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, "Gen. W. H. Abendroth, with best wishes—Joseph W. Stilwell, Gen U. S.A.” Affixed to a same-size mount. In fine condition, with trimmed borders. Stilwell remains uncommon in signed photos—our first example in over three years.
