Genius Is Discovered In 365th Infantry

One genius will arise in time, but

product OF their lst Sgt. Willis. VINO
encouraged free and prompt ex-
change OF ideas among his men
who tremendously sccelerates their
ideas into new developments
Out OF this group OF ideas, Sgt
Willis has invented Folding Cam
outage rack II consists chiefly OF
two parts: a net and folding rack.
II is used in areas where bushes.
grass, or camouhage material are
scarce. Thus, this useful object can
be set up rs n perfect camouflage
for q man in less time than two
minutes with little twigs. II has
the advantage Of having . very
light weight and folding which
makes il easy TO strap TO a pack
Furthermore, il can be Sc; up from
the prone position making it I'M
necessary for a man to stand up
under actual battle conditions TO
camoufage himself
Another invention that the War
Department PROMISES TO use is Sgt.
Willis hand grenade 10 be used
for training purposes only. They
are explosive. but less harmful than
the ones used in actual war. The
same effect is produced however.
Four men can make enough TO sup
ply a whole battalion and the pro-
duction rate by hand IS recorded
as one grenade minute per man.
The cost Is negligible. costing less
than &c each, and the materials are
very easy TO get-no priority.

is small scale Mortar and Rocket
