Marines use International Crawler Tractor to Transport Supplies
| U.S. Marines using an International Harvester TracTracTor to transport supplies through muddy soil. Original caption reads: "Soil, principally sandy-mud, and daily rain storms were tough on the Marines during their first days on Bougainville. Jeeps and trucks were unable to get through to the front lines with food and ammunition and International diesel crawlers and trailers had to be used until the engineers and Seabees could surface roads with coral from the sea."
