Hank writes, “I bought a jeep five or so years ago and I am finally getting around to get her running. I was just wondering if anybody out in the jeep world has ever seen this set up before. I believe the rear is a Dana 44, but it has about 4″ extensions on it to make room for the duel wheels. I am looking for another set of rims. They are 16″ split rim with five holes. I am thinking they came off of a FC but am not sure.”
1944 War Bond with Willys MA
Maury shared this war bond with an image of a Willys MA. He wrote, “These inserts were apparently sent out with US Treasury checks to encourage the recipients to invest the money in war bonds. Scans of the front and back of the original envelope and insert are attached.”

1944 Photo of Fritz the Goat on eBay
Marc spotted this goat on a jeep. Who would have thought that? Rather than Fritz, I’m thinking that is Francine . . . or that isn’t milk. Yikes!
“1944- Members of a U.S. mortar platoon in “frontline German town” line up before “Fritz”, standing on top of a jeep, and hold out their tin cups for their ration of goat’s milk.”
