 Distributed By United PreSS)

OkinaWa, (No Date)-CUP)-Ma- rine 1st Lieut.. Quentin Meyer, for mer Yale football star, was killed in action in a heroic attempt to aid a wounded member of his squad.
 Meyer, as popular a leader of men here as he was on Ellis grid iron, met death at noon on the day, May II, he was to be relieved after Il days of spotting targets for naval gunfire. Much of the time was spent in advance of the first ma rine divisions front lines in the drive toward Naha.
 Meyer was shore spotter for the big guns of ships giving direct sup port to our infantry and it was during the search for new ob- servation position that he was killed.
 Passing in front of one of Okina- was many caves, the wireman of Meyers liaison unit was wounded by sniper fire. The officer rushed to the aid of the wounded man. He was killed by fragments from a Japanese grenade hurled from the cave.
 The gallantry and initiative dis played by Meyer as he directed fire from destroyers and cruisers to ene- my positions during the heaviest fighting for Southern Okinawa brought praise from his superior officers.
 Son of MT. and Mrs. Cord Meyer of New York City, Meyer joined the marines in 1943 after graduat- ing from Yale. He had been over seas II months and saw action throughout the Peleliu campaign last fall.
 Following the Peleliu landing, he was decorated with the silver star medal for his outstanding perform ance as naval liaison officer for the First Marine Division. It was dur ing that campaign that Meyer swan 400 yards to safety after be- ing cut off from his unit by the enemy.
 Strapped to the lieutenant's back during the swim were maps show ing the location of Japanese artil- lery and mortar positions in ad- vance of our lines.
