Forward/Field Motorpool Photos
I'm trying to gather up photographs of forward or field repair/motorpool work on Jeeps and other equipment. I know there are some photos here on the G but they seem scattered into various topics. I couldn't find one topic just addressing this topic. To kick off here's a photo I've seen before, but today found on Pinterist. I do not know the source.

Here's an interesting one. This is the first photo I've found of the maintenance shelter tent in use. Found it here: http://www.transchool.lee.army.mil/muse ... lintro.htm

Re: Forward/Field Motorpool Photos
I am sure I am not alone is saying this. I have always wanted to see one of my jeeps in a period correct photo. Can you image the WOW when you see a picture of your jeep from before you were born? Thank you for sharing these.

Yves,
Those are great!! Thank you so much. It's a lot of fun to study these photos and see how it was really done. Not just a nice propaganda photo from a motor pool shop in the United States.
