[Done] The Hill(1965)

I've been dying to post images from this 1965 War movie known as The Hill
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059274/
This is about five British Army prisoners in a military stockade in North Africa during World War II, one of them starring Sean Connery as Joe Roberts, an RSM who refused a suicidal order and punched out his C.O. All of them are assigned to build and climb a steep hill in order to break the men. All the while the prison is slowly being taken over by a new volunteer who's treatment of the men ends up killing one of them.
Sadly, there are very few vehicles in this movie, and despite the fact that this is the King's Army, they're all U.S. Lend-Lease vehicles.
The first vehicle I'm going to show is a Dodge Power Wagon(not sure of the military designation), and it's just a background vehicle.

The second vehicle is much more important. It's the truck that brings the five prisoners(Sean Connery, Jack Watson, Roy Kinnear, Alfred Lynch, and Ossie Davis) to the prison. I can't decide if it's a GMC or a Studebaker, or something else. I'll add the Commandant's Jeep either later tonight or tomorrow.

All three images of the Commandant's Jeep can be found here:

It's either a Willys MB or a Ford GPW. I'm leaning towards the Willys. No less than two stars.
And that's it. After this, I don't know what I'm going to capture next, but if anything, I'm not going to do it until mid-May 2009.
