On 15 August 1943, more than 34,000 American and Canadian troops landed on Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands — an island its Japanese garrison had abandoned over two weeks earlier.
The garrison had slipped away under cover of fog on 28 July. The landing force still suffered more than 300 casualties, from friendly fire, booby traps, mines and the weather, before the island was declared secure.
