At the time of h After 11 Months Of Foreign Duty 3/e FC Ray Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Anderson, 1119 East First Street, Santa Ana, is spending a twenty-seven day leave with his parents and friends after serving the past eleven months on active duty in the South Pacific war theatre, having seen service in the Gilbert, Marshall and Mariannas Islands as well as in Saipan and on Guam. He came directly from the Sipan war front, one of the "hot-spots" of the south Pacific areas. Ray was formerly manager of the produce department of the Greater Anaheim Market in this city, serving in this capacity for a year and a half. He enlisted in the Naval service two years ago and received his training in San Diego. He has seen plenty of action and has done his share in bringing down Japs fighter planes and has seen many of them fall into the ocean, targets of Allied fighter guns. Ray stated that while they were setting off Saipan about 1500 feet during the battles of that island, he saw the bodies of many women, small children and Japanese men floating in the coastal waters, having committed hari-kari, or suicide as we know it, rather than be taken prisoners by the Allies. Being of a rugged terrain, he saw many citizens of that island leap from the high bluffs of that island than be captured. However, a goodly number of the citizens sneaked back of the Allied lines and surrendered so that they might receive food and medical attention. The bodies of the small children seen floating in the waters were bloated, possibly from the lack of food for many days. Saipan was well colonized with Japanese men and their families. Sgt. Walter R.

More Service News ing of a rugged terrain, he saw many citizens of that island leap from the high bluffs of that island than be captured. However, a goodly number of the citizens sneaked back of the Allied lines and surrendered so that they might receive food and medical attention. The bodies of the small children seen floating in the waters were bloated, possibly from the lack of food for many days. Saipan was well colonized with Japanese men and their families and for the past several years, they have probably been fortifying that island along with other islands in the South Pacific, and due to the ruggedness of the island, this has given the Japs a good opportunity for concealing their guns and other weapons of war. All weapons seized by the Allies were very old models and antiquated insofar as the Americans and their equipment is concerned. The majority of these weapons were manufactured in this country and with all probability were used during World War I. In one arms dump captured during the battle of Saipan, which had a huge amount of different caliber guns and rifles as well as repair parts for equipment and airplanes, the newest and latest arm-piece found was made in 1925. In all his experiences on duty, Ray stated that Saipan was the "hottest" since it was the best fortified of any of the islands their crew visited and was the hardest island to capture. The entire population on the island was either taken prisoners or wiped out entirely. Ray saw many Jap planes brought down by gunfire and helped to bring down a number of these himself. He was aboard one of the large battleships which had the newest Nephew of Local Resident Is Safe Mrs. Victor G.
