Re: New Caledonia Jeep Photos 1943
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
