WWII in the Pacific Marines Land on Saipan.jpg
Saipan - June 1944 - It appears that one Marine is relieving another on the beach at Saipan bu they are really crawling, under enemy fire, to their assigned positions. The Marine closest to the camera is soaked from having been aboard a landing craft hit my Japanese mortar fire. In the background, armoured "Buffaloes" support the Marines in their invasion of the Marianas.
