Army troops of the Eighty-first

Angular Saturday, rolled through
the three-square mile island against
little opposition and penetrated as
much as 1900 yards at one point.
Marines on PeleliuS, six miles

opposition and continued to consoli-
date their beachhead.
While construction battalions

the Americans were little crazy
to let 10000 armed men march 200
