The first picture shows a bombed sugar plantation. The statue in the second picture was at the plantation. Saipan was known for growing a very large sugar crop each year.

About Me
- Alverdo Sando
- I was drafted in the Army in 1945. I took my training in Fort Knox, KY and Fort Ord, CA and was stationed in Saipan for 13 months during WWII. I was the company clerk for the "2848 Engineer Gas Generating Detachment on Saipan. They produced Oxygen, Acetylene Welding Gas,and CO 2. After WWII, I joined the reserves and was called back to serve in the Korea War for a year in 1952. I was with the S-1 Section. During this time I attained the rank of sergeant first class.
Pray for our Troops
Let us not forget their sacrifice

That statue still exists.
If I didn't have a job, I'd go take pictures of all the things you are showing. Please post every picture you have.
I find them fascinating.

P.S. My grandfather was a Marine on Tinian.
i have some of the same photo's shown here that my father took while stationed on Saipan in 1945. iI am trying to find out as much information as I can about his assignment such as what unit he was assigned to and mayve some of his fellow soldiers names.
