In 1895 he was promoted and began drawing front page cartoons for the paper. His love for travel served him well as he was assigned as a war correspondent covering Boer and Philippine Wars as well as World War I. The illustration depicting the fighting in the Philippines was drawn in 1898. McCutcheon spent 4 years covering the Philippine insurrection. His early works tended to be more realistic.Handwritten at top of drawing: Please fill in all these sketches & sign name - haven't time to finish.Destination Indiana - John T.
