My father-in-law was in one of those trucks at Omaha Beach. He was an avid Harley enthusiast before the war and I suppose having had a bunch of them over the years the Army figured he had the mechanical experience they needed in the Motor Pool. After the war he opened a Gas Station in Washington, DC, later moved his operation to the Maryland side of the line. Boxall's Amoco at Riggs and Chillum Road.
