That link does not work for me.
I don't see how that could be on either of those two Islands in 1943... because they were in the hands of the Japanese then.
USMC 14406 is a very cool find!

I agree
Tibor and Mark,
I agree with Mark's statement, cool photo's. I also believe the jeep photo was not taken where the photo was labeled. However, the M 1-4 ambulance, the number 14406 is a USN number, not a USMC number as it has a USN prefix prior to the number.
What is also interesting on the side of the ambulance body is the USNM?, could this perhaps be USNMD ?
Lastly, the jeep in the photo may be a GPW by looking at the front bumper line up holes or whatever they are called.
Tibor,
Keep on digging and sharing these photo's. You are doing a great service to the hobby.

Mark,
Sorry, try this link: http://www.duryeapa.com/images/contents.htm
It's very interesting photo album for me, because there are a lots of families from East Europe (I think from Poland, Czech, and Hungary).
You can find that USMC jeep photo between 1943 photos:
look for: 1943 Gillespie Bernie at Okinawa or Iwo JIma 1
and another jeep pic maybe USN from 1945:
look for: 1945 Kelly Tom Military USN
Frank,
How are you? Thanks for the good words! Yes that medic truck is actually an USN one. Sorry!
I guess the last letter is M (medic?), or H (hospital?).
That's a USMC GPW jeep.

From the item description,
The seller does not mention what the Army number is.Buy using soft scrub I was able to start uncovering the truly original registration number. There is already a very large yellow registration number put on by the Navy but it's not the original. The original one is smaller and higher on the hood.

Tom - The 20359065 is the old Army hood number and in some cases the Army number was kept even when the vehicle was passed to the Navy.
Mark T. - The Navy IH USN 14406 was attached to USNavy Mobile Base Hospital #3, the USNM is part of this and the rest may be under the spare.
Sean - The Navy IH trucks could have been marked in White or Yellow, if the latter often the same yellew as used on Marine vehicles.
The WC22 is a neat find, I almost bought a similar one about ten years ago that was flightline yellow with black Navy markings.

Thanks Mike! My truck is slowly returning to Marine green, but I wanted to make sure when the time comes I put the markings on in the correct color.Mike W. wrote:Sean - The Navy IH trucks could have been marked in White or Yellow, if the latter often the same yellow as used on Marine vehicles.
