Stilled Scene of Battle
Saipan – Marines on foot and in a jeep, bypass the charred remains of an American tank along a road on Saipan. The Leatherneck tankmen fought a battle with Japs hidden in the concrete building at which the turret gun is pointing. A gaping hole in the side wall is evidence of a direct hit by one of the shells from the tank.
