Mr. White Brings Home His Jeep
February 28, 2010 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Here’s a short article about a Veteran of WWII named Mr. M C White. He was assigned a Jeep with only 7 miles on it during the war and proceeded to drive it for 3 years, through battles all over Europe. I don’t see a period at the end of the last sentence, so I suspect this article might be longer than it appears?
This article is from the front page of the July 19, 1946 issue of the Mt. Pleasant, Ia, Newspaper [The Mt. Pleasant News]. Thanks to Bruce for the article.
