Later, in the hotel lobby, MacArthur was reunited with General Jonathan M. Wainwright, who had been left behind as commanding officer on Corregidor in March 1942, and had surrendered the island to the Japanese in May 1942. Wainwright had been held at a camp in Manchuria, along with other senior officers including British general A. E. Percival, who had surrendered Singapore in February 1942. Both officers were down to skin and bones, and their appearance greatly angered the Allies.
