Description:Natives of Saipan, ferreted out of the hills by Marines of the 2nd Regiment, are assisted unto a truck to be transported behind the front lines. Frightened at first, due to atrocity stories that the Japanese told them about Marines, they soon learned that we would not harm them. Native in rear of truck is smoking an American cigarette and appears happy. June 20, 1944. (#83463, National Archives).
