This picture taken on March 11, 1974 shows former Japanese imperial army soldier Hiroo Onoda (R) offering his military sword to former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos (L) to express his surrender at the Malacanan Palace in Manila. Onoda, who hid in the Philippine jungle for three decades because he did not believe World War II was over, has died in Tokyo on January 17, 2014, at the age of 91. The former soldier waged a guerilla campaign in Lubang Island near Luzon until he was finally persuaded in 1974 that peace had broken out.
