Here's a nice picture of Bill Mauldin in Italy

 

In a June 1945 magazine article, Time described Bill Mauldin and his jeep named for his wife Jean:

 

In a jeep named "Jeanie" he covered the fronts, commuting between Cassino and the Anzio beachhead, making his left-handed sketches with India ink, which he got from the engineers, and three carefully guarded worn-out brushes.

 

Unlike Patton, Gen. Mark Clark was a real Willie and Joe fan, and made a jeep permanently available to Mauldin to go anywhere he wanted to meet the troops and get inspiration for future panels.

EDIT: Although Mauldin was in the 45th Infantry Division -
