Omaha Beach picture...fuel can carrier

Post by Bill_Wolf »

I am sure we have all seen these picture group of Signal Corps photos from the Normandy area.

Check this one out of this CCKW. Note the fuel can bracket. The M-29/T-24 being hauled by the CCKW in a G-221 trailer coming off a Mulberry. Actually there are 3 of them.

Note I have this link on the Giant size so it may take some time to load.

That is a cool shot, The cans are either British or German. More than likely British but then who knows now. :D
