Tom Camfield
Class of 1947
Army, 3 Years
I served during the Korean War in the 30th Engineers based at Fort Winfield Scott, Calif. It was a photo-mapping battalion, and I did not get assigned to the war zone. I did spend some time in a field camp in Alaska. Basically I was an NCO behind a typewriter in battalion headquarters.
