Summary[edit]

Description
English: Driving a Ford GP: Colonel H.J. Lawes, Post Commander, Holabird Quartermaster Depot (Baltimore, MD) and commandant of the Quartermaster Motor Transport School. Ford GPs were tested for the U.S. Army in World War II at Camp Holabird in 1941. In 1942, Col. Lawes was likely driving it in an educational role, as by then the standardized Willys MB and Ford GPW had gone into full production.
