Biography
In 1936, after the destruction of the Flying Wing, Colonel Herman Dietrich decided that moving the Ark to Cairo by truck was the next safest option. A convoy was assembled outside Dietrich's command tent to safely transport the Ark to Cairo, consisting of a staff car, an armed troop car, a motorbike and a cargo truck onto which the Ark was loaded. When Jones took over the control of the cargo truck, the Motorcycle Driver tried to pass the truck on the left, but Jones was ready for it, and nudged it into a pool. This Soldier and his Companion then got out and cursed after the truck.
