Runflat Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 [ATTACH=CONFIG]121936[/ATTACH] Some great pictures there - I particularly like the captured Blitz. But what's that plate on rear wheel arch? And I can't quite make out the name give to this jeep either. Who has better eyesight? And for the uniform buffs, what's the patch on the man's sleeve?

Great War truck Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Culver city Express. Signal Corps photographer badge (I think) The plaque guarantees that was the first Jeep to land on D Day and is therefore worth a ton of money to anybody who believes it. Actually, I don't know about the plaque, I have never seen anything like it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog8811 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 [ATTACH=CONFIG]121938[/ATTACH] Is that a punt gun that they are all studying? Nice pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 [ATTACH=CONFIG]121938[/ATTACH] Is that a punt gun that they are all studying? Nice pictures No, they are looking at the semaphore flicking it out when someone gets to close. It was actually a secret weapon for close proximity self defense. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 An interesting shot also of an late war Opel Blitz carrying German POWs and marked with an Allied Star and a similar one in use by the Yanks in convoy with other US vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gas 44 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 As a Dodge owner myself this collection of pics deserves a VERY BIG THANKYOU........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 No, they are looking at the semaphore flicking it out when someone gets to close.It was actually a secret weapon for close proximity self defense. :-D It it looks like your almost right. It's a large punt gun and the trigger is wired to the signal arm so the driver can fire it with little movement of his hands. Ideal for those road blocks manned by the Germans impersonating MPs.
