I saw them at George's place. I was born and raised in Phila. before living
in NH. George guided me through my first restoration of a M38A1. These
WWII Jeeps could carry 2 stretchers stacked one above the other on right
side, and showed walking wounded sitting on left. I saw 3 or 4 of these
Jeeps in a single camera shot in Pacific. Marine Jeeps?
