The cachet features a black-and-white illustration of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper front page with the headline 'JAPANESE AT MIDWAY SMASHED' along with subheadlines about enemy damage and U.S. injuries. Below the illustration is printed text explaining the American victory at the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942, and the title 'Midway: Turning point in Pacific naval war.' The 29-cent USA stamp depicts a dark-toned painting of soldiers with the caption 'Corregidor falls to Japanese May 6, 1942.' The postmark is a circular machine cancel from Indianapolis, IN 46206, dated August 17, 1992.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
