Yesterday I featured an ad that related a story about jeeps lashed to the decks of Submarines.
This article was published in the February 10, 1944 issue of the Eugene Register Guard:

I found this article on page 5 of the January 10, 1944, edition of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper:

And from page 2 of the February 10, 1944, issue of the Spokane Daily Chronicle: ![1944-02-10-jeep-lashed-to-deck](http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2014/07/1944-02-10-jeep-lashed-to-deck.jpg)
And, on a note of trivia, I found this gem at an archived site:
In World War II, Burton Baskin of Baskin Robbins fame, was a quartermaster who began his ice cream career by trading a jeep for an ice cream freezer
Now, I don’t know if that’s true as I couldn’t verify it anywhere else, but a fun fact if true.
