Military observers note the Attu campaign exposed flaws in planning and equipment for Arctic operations. The Seventh Division faced 21 days of harsh weather, frostbite and non battle injuries, with over 1 000 non combat casualties and 342 killed. Desert training favored combat readiness but raised questions about Arctic deployment.

War time notes and local updates from the Methodist Parsonage to Attu
Mrs J A Brownlee recovers after ten days illness at the Methodist parsonage. Claude E Baker reports Albany First Fighter Command orders for Wednesday spotting 1 to 5 pm with restricted plane flashes over villages. Mr and Mrs William Jones host a belated anniversary dinner for their son William Jr. War disclosures are deemed unhelpful. Casualties range around 15 percent of ground forces, while overall losses depend on naval and air support. The garrison of over 2,000 is said to be wiped out. Attu was captured forcing Japan to evacuate Kiska, giving the Americans two islands for the price of one.
