A delayed Marine Corps item from
Saipan in the Marianas Islands, tells
of the part a Coquille boy took in the
U. S. capture of that Jap stronghold.
Lynn Perrott is the son of Ernie
Perrott and husband of Mrs. Georgi-
anna Perrott, both of this city. The
item reads:
Tanks are playing an important
' role in the fighting for Saipan and
one two-man lank crew in particu
lar is making things plenty hot for
.he Japs.
1 Sergeant Roy M. Godfrey, 22, of
Fresno, Calif., and the driver, Ser-'
geant Lynn F. Perrott, 25, of Co
quille, can take a lot of credit for the
Marine advance across the moun
tainous backbone of the island, where |
the Japs are so well dug in that it >
would be impossible to get at them
in any other, way.
Sergeants Perrott and Godfrey have
