- Caption
- Flemming's caption typed on reverse side of image reads, in full: "Our Peep takes a ride across the Rhine in a LCVP, courtesy of the US Navy. They said we were the first to cross the Rhine thus with a vehicle. There were other ferry services being improvised too, like the one made of three heavy pontoons fastened together and powered by several outboard motors. Near Unkel, Ger - - 17 March 45" NOTE: Fleming refers to a "Peep" which is more well known as a Jeep. The term "Peep" was used by armored forces as it was the job of the Jeep/Peep to scout or "Peep" for targets and then call in the armored forces. "LCVP" means "Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel".
