Thank you. I knew they would come in handy at some point. Perhaps you can explain how news cameramen got so close to the front lines... :D

Maybe because they made sure that their guards are the ones wearing red shirts and not the news crew themselves?

Doubtless a war correspondent or an Army photographer would be there, if nothing else to record what went on for later analysis.
As you can see, not everything has gone to plan.

Another interesting post.
Nice find on the armed jeeps too, I've seen a couple of other photos of such conversions used in the Congo in 1960.

In the absence of the LRDG etc. I think the Dutch might be the first in WW to use such conversions for hit and run raids.

Thank you! As an aside, Jugoslovenska Vojnik is the Yugoslav military's house newspaper, aimed at the common soldier. I'll leave the other material to your imagination!
