This April 21, 1944, article in Canada’s The Maple Leaf theorized how the post-war jeep just might help you warm up together in the “slip trench”!

    in WWII, my father was an Army MP Lieutenant(later Captain) stationed in England, courted my English mother, no doubt in a MP Jeep, they married and I was born nine months later in an English hospital. My dad brought us both home from the hospital in a Military Police Jeep. So I suspect this story about WWII romances in a Jeep has a ring of truth to it!
    After Dad got out of the service in early 46 and Mom and I were able to join him in Illinois, Dad bought a 1946 CJ2A(couldn’t buy a passenger car) and mom got pregnant with my sister. Dad brought both of them home from the hospital in Galesburg in that CJ2A. That Jeep was our family car for a couple of years.
