Default Holden Jeep at Iwo Jima

Hello All,

I found a Youtube video from Iwo Jima colour and silent. The first half of the shot makes me think that the photographer had a bit of a wheel fetish as that is all that is visible. Or maybe it was "arty" things do improve later with decent footage taken of various vehicles including the "Holden Ambulances"

Plus some more footage of this type of vehicle but as per following description ... "US 22nd Marine Regiment, 6th Division advances in Okinawa. Jeep wheel gets stuck in mud. Hills in background. Marine Corps Ambulance jeep (a "Holden" with spare tire on hood) driven through deep mud followed by other vehicles, trucks and jeeps. Jeep with a sign 'convoy' on it, passes by on a muddy road followed by a convoy of International 6x6 trucks." Accessed 1st January 2013 from http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65...s-stuck-in-mud

Kind Regards
Lionel
