Welcome
Respite
Wherever
the GI’s 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 new 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.
