Soldiers Pushing Jeep
| Soldiers push a jeep that is stuck on the rocky beach at the Saidor landing. The open front of the LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is on the left. Another LST can be seen on the right. Robert Doyle wrote a caption for this image although it was not published at that time: "When jeeps pulling loaded trailers dug into rocks and stalled, soldiers quickly pushed them out to clear the way for vehicles behind." |
