Belgian Jeeps in Korea

[Brigade Piron]

Hi,

I've done a lot of research on the topic of the Belgian contingent in Korea, and I thought it might be interesting to show some pictures of the vehicles they used:

This is the jeep of the padre of the unit (Vandergoten) who "borrowed" the motto of the US 15th Infantry Regiment ("Can Do") and modified it a bit:

The Red Indian on the fender is the SSI of a US artillery unit.







Some others:









Could you tell me what vehicle this is ? I know there's not much to see.



I hope you find this interesting.

All best,

BP

Brigade Piron, What type of rifles were the Belgians using in Korea? FN-49s, FN-Mausers or M1 Garands?

My info says the FN-49's were used in Korea and they also used SMLE's postwar. I was wondering the same thing Marty. The FN-49 were in 30-06 cal in Belgian Army
