ROOSEVELT BOY
OSCAR NEUMANN, KILLED ON
SAIPAN WITH THE MARINE
INVASION, HONORED IN
M A RI N E CEREMONY IN
JAPAN
i Marine Gunnery Sergeant Oscar
E. Neumann, who gave his life in
i the Saipan action in June 1944,
I has again received signal honor
by having a camp in Japan, head
quarters for the Tenth Marines
. named for him.
Marine Neumann is one of
three 2nd division marines to re
ceive such recognition for his
i heroic deeds in World war 11.
i Camp Neumann, an artillery
unit, is located about 22 miles
from the atom-bombed city of
Nagasaki.
At the formal naming of the
! camp, aside from the regular for-
I mation and ceremonies, honor
i guard of ad-Montana marines
paid tribute to their fallen com
| rade. They were Lt. Henry Dah
ner of Havre; Lt. James Gasser of
Missoula; Pfc. Ira Linn of Anacon
da, and Pvt. Robert Hanek of
! Great Falls. Following the blare
of bugles and the raising of the
American flag the official dedi
cation of the camp was made by
Colonel Charles Roge of New
Orleans.
Sgt. Neumann, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Neumann of Poplar
■ heroically led a group of volun
. teers in an attempt to isolate a
; fire caused by an explosion and
। which was spreading to a nearby
, ammunition dump.
i Many of the men at the cere
mony had participated in the ac
tion which brought death to the
Montana boy.
As the marine report read: “The
reading of his deed of sacrifice
was mere formality as marines do
not forget their fallen comrades."
Mr. and Mrs. Neumann received
the posthumous silver star award
for their son, about two months
ago.
