The main purpose of these rail jeeps was to haul flatcars loaded with supplies in New Guinea. This demonstration was held at Eagle Farm Aerodrome in Brisbane, Australia. At the wheel is Brig Gen C W Connell, Commanding General, Air Service Command. To his right are LTC Donald Thomas, Boise, Idaho and LTC R L Fry, Pocatella, Idaho. Brisbane, Australia, 30 June 1943.
