Summary

Description
English: "Marine infantrymen move fast to take up new positions in Garapan, principal city of Saipan. Jap buildings and installations were set afire by supporting artillery barrages and the Leathernecks entered the town to engage the enemy in street fighting for the first time in the Pacific theatre."
