The following pictures are from MM 1/c Bob Reiss's tour 1943 - 1944

This "jeep" was built by Bob for use around the Navy Base. It is a midget car using wheelbarrow wheels, an Indian motorcycle engine, with Bob building the rest of the parts himself in his "spare time". When Bob left Derry in 1944 he gave the truck to ChMM Pete Reese who was taking it to France aboard the USS Darnell.
