Medical Aidmen Build Front Line Photo Enlarger
Two 7th Infantry Division aidmen in Korea improvised a photo enlarger from a mortar shell case. Corporals Ralph E. Morgan and Billy G. Bolton, both with the 32nd Regiment, modified the shell to serve as the enlarger body with a bellows socket and white-paper reflector. They used an old camera lens and a light bulb, producing better results than they achieved with Japanese firms, Morgan said.
