This picture shows the 15th Regiment Command Post. |

This annotated photo was made on June 15th by our photo officer Lt. Dan Carson, who was flying in an L-19 that day. All the pictures were classified after being processed but I saved a print because I am in it as is my partner Frank Conger. On the original print you can see two dots in the tank dugout. |

The slide of OP Harry was taken from OP Howe.

The closer shot was taken with a 135mm lens which was new. I had bought it from Balcom mail order house. I shot a lot of pictures with it before I realized that the lens was not synchronized with the Leica rangefinder. Let's just say that they are softer than I would have liked! (Can't go back for retakes, thank God!) That is a Chinese round hitting the right flank of OP Harry the afternoon of June 15,1953. |
