US & Philippine Personnel Jeep Leyte Philippines December 1944 LIFE Carl Mydans
American, Commonwealth, and Philippine personnel with a Jeep in Leyte, Philippines, December 1944. Note the Filipino troops with camo-netted M1917 Brodie helmet and campaign hat, likely put up in 1942 and brought back out when the insurgency turned active. In the back of the jeep, note the Gurkha and Indian trooper. Odds are, that jeep is likely still running, in Manila, as a Jeepney. LIFE Magazine Archives – Carl Mydans Photographer
