Two more photos, this time you have to look in the background. Note that the second photo features one of the "Indian Pattern Odd Job" FATs > one for Tony!

We've seen this photo before: an Indian Pattern FAT in dire straits...
This truck of the ARBAT (Artillery Battalion) has left slipped off the bridge with its right front wheel on the jeep bridge near Driaredja and is in danger of ending up in the water. At the back of the truck there is already a tow chain on the tow bar, we are now waiting for the tow truck. Location: Driaredja, Java, Nederlands-Indië Date: 1946-12-20 2174-1587_r.jpg Source: https://beeldbank.nimh.nl/foto-s/det...8-d09930029191
