(From 2012) Mitch forwarded this scanned photograph. It shows either Queen Elizabeth (or Princess Elizabeth) in a nicely modifiedMB/GPW. I’ve looked for other photographs of this jeep, but haven’t found any. I also have yet to discover what book this came from. If anyone could supply that information, it would be helpful! Here’s one of her in a more conventional WWII jeep.

    We are have a similar photo of the queen in this jeep (top photo). Ours is a different angle. The photo is taken in India. Nehru is also in the jeep. The Jeep is driven by my father-in-law who was a young officer in Skinner’s Horse regiment. Now deceased.

    Hi Dean,

    That’s a neat bit of memorabilia you have. Sorry to hear he has passed away.

    Thanks,

    – Dave
