Merry Christmas fellow Jeepers! Anyone know the source of the picture Jeep Parts JEF Christmas photo used? Looks like it would be a good story and I’d love to see more pics from that trek! Bob

Merry Christmas! Bob: I think I have seen that photo somewhere. It might be a Life Magazine photo? I can't remember for sure. - Dave

Thank you for the lead Dave. Best I could find was a caption that read, “Two U.S. 99th Infantry Division GIs...”.

It appears I posted the photo back in 2013: http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2013/04/pic-ww2-fixing-jeep-in-snow.jpg . The image I used was from a photo reproduced for sale on eBay. If it had been a documented press photo or Life Magazine photo, I would have indicated that. My guess is that, based on the quality of the photo, it is some kind of signal corps or press photo. Maybe it will pop up for sale on eBay some day!
