ww2 video: Double mg on jeep

[Steve Webb]

Been looking at a lot of these for names of anything to clue in a location. This is in the Keys and some of the other beachy ones seem to be Miami area due to type of buildings.

I think they are all SE Florida area. This one is interesting, what a club that must have been

Looks like a Shriners convention!

[Steve Webb]

Yea, but I don't think the Shriners took their wives/girlfriends to theirs. Interesting to see who is looking and who isn't and who is trying to do both

[Chuck Lutz]

The one with "SOUTHERNMOST" on the sign would be in Key West....

The nightclub is either "Rick's Cafe Americain" or the "Club Babalu"......

So it could be Sidney Greenstreet and his buddies....or the Shriner's on a binge....

The second photo captioned as Rome looks more like some disembarkation point. The Jeep has deep water wading kit, and loading data on the windscreen. I have seen that on British Jeeps before, never US.

And there's either spar boots in the back or someone's in a awkward riding position!
