The Wartime Jeep in British Service?

Post by Cyclone303 » Sun Jun 09, 2013 5:48 pm

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone has read the book The Wartime Jeep in British Service and if you could tell me if there is much in there about Generals Jeeps?

There are a couple of picture of jeeps used by generals in this book.
Anything special you want to find in it?
