Description
A camouflaged 1939 model Ford utility vehicle in the desert of Tobruk. Visible behind the truck is an unidentified serviceman, standing in the little shade the truck offers and drinking from a mug. A folded blanket has been placed against the trucks' rear tyre, ensuring that the glare of the hot sun on the metal wheel rim does not attract enemy attention.
