In my father's 1942 diary, he writes that his company was sent to
Schenectady NY to pick up "32 new jeeps"on June 2nd.
I believe that these were some of the earliest jeeps to come off the assembly
line for Army use. Did the jeep go in to production in '41?
Anyway, my father LOVED jeeps!! here he is looking fit and handsome
(big difference from the Anzio photos!) and this is the first picture of
him with 6th Corps patch. Corporal Howard - just look at the crease on those
pants!
