Eyes up !
Description
Title from verso . Photograph of an artillery unit as they watch U.S . aircraft pass over their position . Verso reads : "Attu -- All eyes focus anxiously on the Aleutian skies as American fighting men watch their air arm fly into battle . The guns , of course , are focussed on the Japs in the hills of Attu as U.S . troops begin operations on that western-most island of the Aleutian chain . Latest reports from Attu indicate that the island's rough , rocky terrain may delay the final allied push against the Japs . NY DJH #12 60 MGS LV MIL CAN TS 5/27/43 (RK) Credit line (Official U . S .
