I wanna cry!

There are dozens if not hundreds more related to jeeps and Military events/equipment. Good search keywords to start with are Jeep, Equipment Testing, Army, Us Armed Forces, Vehicles, Desert Warfare, 1950s, Military, Willys, etc.

Re 'I wanna cry'
That's a really interesting shot and I'll tell you why........ for ages now I've been collecting info from jeeps that were shipped to Europe from Uncle Sam under the Military Aid program of the 50s and 60s.
I get the info from the rebuild tags on the various assemblies, workshop names or numbers.

One tag I have says 'Pusan' I wonder if that is a graveyard from which jeeps were re-built for the Military Aid Program?

And if it is lots of those in the photo will have been rebilut and shipped out.

Makes you wonder.
