General Note
KHAM DUC 2 ROLL OF FILM Photographer: Capt. James B. [Jim] Evans, Army Medical Corps, 91st Evacuation Hospital, Chu Lai, June 1970 to October 1970. August TDY as battalion surgeon for Americal Division in Kham Duc. Jim Evans developed negatives at Chu Lai Phot Lab, between August and October 1970.

Medic Rocky Bampanni [Spelling of last name is uncertain.] at medical aid station. Rocky displayed a 'Zorba-like' infectious joy of life, even in the midst of war. I remember him dancing in the rain covered with soap suds during an unplanned tropical shower. This shower was easier than walking to be shower point.
