SAY COULD THE BE A 1944 OR 1945 MODEL YEAR WILLYS JEEP, WITH TOWING BAR.
CHECK OUT THE .30 CALIBER MG AND M31 MOUNT W/CRADLE, AND AMMO TRAY BRACKET. DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT. DID YOU KNOW, THAT ONE JEEP WAS BUILT EVERY 80 SECONDS BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

THE JAPANESE TYPE 95 HA-GO KNOCKED OUT IN THE BACKGROUND WAS A LIGHT TANK, AND WAS ARMED W/1X37MM CANNON AND 2X7.7MM MACHINE GUNS.
BUILT BY MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES THE
HA-GO WAS SEVEN TONS, 2300 WERE BUILT, CREW THREE. THE TYPE 95 WAS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT INFANTRY, BUT WERE NOT DESIGNED TO ENGAGE OTHER TANKS BECAUSE OF ITS LIGHT ARMOR AND ARMAMENT.

THE HA-GO COULD BE KNOCKED OUT BY BAZOOKA FIRE, ANTI-TANK GUNS AND THE M4 SHERMAN.
ONE EXAMPLE IS ON DISPLAY TODAY, AT THE ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, USA.

PHOTOGRAPH COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN DURING THE OKINAWA CAMPAIGN, SO THE HA-GO IN THE BACKGROUND, COULD HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE
27TH TANK REGIMENT IMPERIAL JAPANESE ARMY, BUT THIS IS ONLY MY GUESS.

THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL PHOTO TAKEN DURING WW2. It is a photo of a reenactment done at the Pacific War Museum in Fredericksburg, TX circa 2005. I went to school with the person driving. His name is John Klier. If you zoom in on the pic, you can see a box around the cigar that is in his mouth. The cigar was added and the vehicle number was also changed.
