A photo of F Company hitting the beach at Saipan - - This is the Third Platoon landing at the extreme left flank. Two men have already been hit and are going down. The author could be the one with the BAR between them. Here, F Company stayed for three days, defending the strategic beach-head area from truckloads of Japanese and some tanks that came down the beach road from Garapan to attack F Company. The outskirts of Garapan can be seen in the background.
