TRACTOR LEAVING LCM(3); note transport and several landing craft on horizon. A heavy fog on D Day caused several postponements of H Hour. The first troops finally moved ashore at 1620 on 11 May.

Just a guess - but I would say somewhere in the Aleutian Islands 1943

Does anyone know exactly what is being driven off ? Does not look like a dozer or a Weasel.

Likely a bulldozer without the blade, used as a prime mover for artillery.

Thanks .
Finally figured out what I was seeing . Winch assmly up front . The " box " is the radiator with 155 painted on . The tricycle on top is the pulley / belts for the generator and (?) for the motor and the top of the motor itself . The bright metal case down the right hand side is likely the exhaust . The hood / cowling is missing.
