In this the 70th Year of the Jeep we pay tribute to the work the little Jeep achieved with the Australian and Allied Troops in the Second World War. Its worth taking the time to visit the Australian War Memorial Website and explore the many articles and photos in the archives, just use the search filter and insert Jeep Photo; you will find a huge collection of photos of the Jeep in action.Check it out at Australian War MemorialAitape, New Guinea. 2 March 1945. Many rivers have to be forded by jeeps in the Aitape area. Private Don Garnar of Broken Hill, NSW, uses his ingenuity to wash a pair of pants from the jeep as it fords the river. Driving the jeep is Driver Alan Wilkie of Mildura, Vic.
