Marc found this fascinating photo. The description explains these jeeps were part of ‘Operation Roll Up’, a plan to gather up jeeps left in the Pacific Islands during WWII.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 03-18-1952.”
I had never heard of “Operation Roll Up”, sounds like a good plan, maybe they could reinstate it and bring back all the remaining WWII jeeps from overseas. I guess all the WWII jeeps on the MASH TV show could be correct!
