Summary edit

Description Lot-803-15: Aleutian Islands Campaign, June 1942 - August 1943. Allied Landing on Attu Island, May 11 1943. Grim anywhere, war has an added starkness in the bleak wilds of the Aleutians. Upon the living falls not only the sorrowful burden of mourning the dead, but the harrowing task of burying them. Bearing crosses and shovels, Navy men tail up the barren sides of a mountain to perform the last rites for their comrades. U.S. Navy photograph, released September 7, 1943. Photographed through Mylar sleeve. (2015/11/06).
