Hi Numbersix, 

Thanks not seen the one of Danny Kaye before, pity the one of Marlene Dietrich doesn't appear to have added to your post.

 

cheers lewis.

 

Sorry about that, it may be the file type, here it is as a .jpg:

Hi Salvage sailor,

 

yes I think when I was a child that scared the proverbial out of me, it's been many-many years since I watched it.

 

I will have to try and catch it again if I can to try and find why the hand crank hole in the front bumper is different to a standard wartime circular hole.

 

cheers lewis

That's not sterling Haydon that's Robert Ryan standing in the left. I don't remember sterling Haydon in that movie.

Right you are, so I am getting old and snapped another brain synapse...

 

But we do have Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Ernie Borgnine, Dean Jagger, Walter Brennan and even a future Klingon, K.L. Smith

Hi Tractor.

A great shot of a great film icon, pretty much enjoyed all of his films through the years, Kelly's Hero's for a film with an amount of comedic input  did really well on the authenticity of the uniforms, equipment and vehicles.  

 

I have an original cinema poster of Kelly's Heroes .

J.D. Salinger (who still had to catch something in the Rye 😉)

And our own Prins Bernhard (Dutch Royal family) who was sort of a swashbuckler (and I'm being very politically correct here)

And another one, the wartime Queen of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland  . . . . . . . .

God save the Queen.

re-looking at the above photo I realised I knew the name of the officer sat next to the Queen.

 

He appears in a book I have called ' Jeeps & Jests ' by Bruce Bairnsfather, it's a cartoon look at the life of the first US troops based in Ireland in 1942 and Major General Russell P Hartle was the commanding officer.  Bairnsfather's drawing of him is very realistic to the above photo image.  

 

The copy I have was a Christmas gift in 1943 to his aide d'camp, unfortunately the surname is not very clear. 

 

Excuse the wrench on the third photo it was simply to hold the page flat.

Steve McQueen in a Jeep,  note he has a hand written letter on his left thigh, whether this was a film set I don't know.
