Surrounding Mac were crew members of the USS Missouri, other aides and staff, Allied foreign delegates, and two distinguished guests. American General Jonathan Wainwright and British Lieutenant General Arthur Percival had been held in Japanese captivity since their surrenders to the Japanese over three years earlier. They, too, signed the document after MacArthur. And then, just like that, World War II was officially over.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIncredibly, the offered Type III oversized photo—like the actual surrender document itself—was later signed by all 3 WWII generals. The autograph requester appears to have been a Florida-based collector, according to Percival's included 1949 TLS that reads, \"I have signed the enclosed photograph as you requested and enclose it herewith. It brings back many memories to me - some good and some pretty poor - but I have always thought how lucky I was to be present on that occasion. I am indebted to Gen. MacArthur for having made it possible. The pen which he gave me I had mounted and it now lives on a table in my house, where it is much admired by all who come here.\" PSA\/DNA dual-service LOA for Type III and autographs.
