I like seeing jeeps in combat zones photos. This one is a late Ford GPW as IDed by the holes in the bumper between the 24 and 19 and in the zero of the M10 and no dimple in the center of the grill where it meets the hood.. The bar along the top of the windshield was added to give more head room when the top was on.

What do you suppose the guy on sitting on the ground is all about? A guide? I wouldn't think a prisoner by his sitting next to a rifle in the canvas case.

thougnt you would enjoy the jeep Bill:-)

Not sure that is a rifle in the case - perhaps an atenna

there were others in the series with a korean with his hat turned sideways - pow?
