Hello Bill,

Thanks for posting !

Those are great pictures of the Jeep and Soldier, that are from an area that is rarely seen or mentioned anymore !
Interesting markings on the jeep as well !!
We assume it is a USMC jeep with the tow hooks .

I would hope he got a new "Pal" when he got back to America after the war.
He seems to know how nice Jeeps are, and would have certainly enjoyed one back home !


Best Regards,
Ray
