Welcome Respite
Wherever the GIs went they took their Jeeps with them, and before the war was
run the little quarter-ton, 4-wheel drive, utility vehicle was as well known
around the world as the Model T Ford. Nicolas Trudgian has painted a compelling
image, set back in time when the little Jeep was omnipresent on and around the
roads and battlefields of a war-torn world. It is Christmas 1944 and, as a
gaggle of 339th FG P-51 Mustangs disturb the peace of this ancient English
village, a little Jeep waits patiently outside the pub while her occupants
sample the local ale. A wonderfully nostalgic painting that will bring back
pleasant memories to many. |
