Camera Catches Campanile Conquest
GO FOR BROKE—In picture 1. defenders move up to take Campanile hill. A young refugee in Picture 2 takes time out for a little gastric fortification, as a friend watches "operation chow down." Photo 3 shows the "aggressors" dig in on Campanile hill. The Roman type helmet liners were worn by the enemy forces to distinguish them from the defenders. The defending forces break through barbed wire emplacements in picture 4. Maj Delbert L. Townsend, assistant professor of military science, is shown directing all the operations by walkie-talkie in picture 5. The mock battle was effected by about 35 members of Scabbard and Blade. In Photo 6, an Army helicopter from the 137th Infantry regiment in Topeka is evacuating M/Sgt. Terry Hendricks, assistant instructor of military science, who was "hit" by enemy fire.
