Little-Known WWII Facts

I searched for anything that would indicate if this was posted before and found nothing. This is from "Military.com" that came across my screen dated 13 Nov 2003. I checked "snopes" and found nothing.

11. Following a massive naval bombardment, 35,000 U.S. and Canadian troops stormed ashore at Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands. Twenty-one troops were killed in the firefight. It would have been worse if there had been any Japanese soldiers on the island.

My father-in-law was on Kiska! And Attu. At some point he was pulled off Attu and repositioned on Kiska, then departed Kiska about three weeks before the Can/Am forces attacked. Sadly, no photos of him in the Aleutians.
