Roy Earle was born in 1924 in Montclair, New Jersey, and he grew up nearby in the city of Bloomfield, where he graduated from high school in 1942. After the attack on Pearl Harbor and knowing he would soon be drafted, he made the decision to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps in late 1942.
In December 1943 Roy joined the First Joint Assault Signal Company (JASCO), his final reassignment. JASCO’s role was to set up communications for the assault troops, maintain constant communications between the beach and the front-line troops, moving inland to replace communicators that were killed or wounded.
In January 1944 the men were deployed overseas, going directly into combat in the Marshall Islands. Over the next thirteen months, Roy was in constant operations combat against the Japanese, participating in vicious battles in Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima.
