February 1944, New Guinea: Lt. Harold Halloran had a problem. Japanese convoys moved faster than his mortar crews could deploy. The solution? Mount a 60mm mortar on a salvaged wagon axle. Battalion command said no—twice. So Halloran built it anyway, using Depression-era farm skills and scavenged parts. His improvised weapon destroyed an enemy convoy in under two minutes. Officials investigated but couldn't punish success. Within weeks, the "forbidden" design spread across the Pacific. The Army eventually adopted it officially—without crediting the lieutenant who invented it in a banana grove with wire and guts.
