 of Amchitka in the Aleutians, a new base for the bombing of the Jap-held island of Kiska, 40 airline monazons of Amchitka, but this American convoy got there first. They seized the initiative in the struggle for this important chain of islands that stretches 600 miles west of Alaska like a curved sword pointed at the Japanese mainland. These official army pictures made during the winter have just been released. General Jones commands the operation. The shoreline hums with activity as army engineers prepare runways for fighter and bombing planes. The Japs on Kiska Island are being heavily pounded almost every day. These Americans are ready for the fight to drive the Japanese out of the Aleutian Islands. Canada's most celebrated citizens take the train for an important visit to the United States. Four cargo freighters built in America for British use. The quintuplets are now nine years old. Annette, Cecile, Yvonne. The ships are 6,000 tonne coastal vessels and little Annette has been chosen by lot to sponsor the first one. The Chings are as much alike as the five Dion girls themselves, her old Mrs. Dion. Red roses and a special five-way salute and his soldiers of the British Eighth Army plan their part in the final battle of North Africa. New Zealanders, Highlanders, men of England. These battle-hard troops have chased the Germans across the breadth of Africa and squeezed them into an impossible position in Tunisia. Through town after Tunisian town, the Eighth Army triumphantly marches, pushing the retreating Axis troops northward as the British, French and Americans pound them from the west. For the smug security of fortified Axis Europe, this is the beginning of the end. The army drives northward through Gabes, nearing a junction with its American allies. General Eisenhower, Allied Commander-in-Chief, pays a visit to General Montgomery. Already a glorious tradition, the Eighth Army triumphantly occupies Gabes. Highland Pipers leading the way, by sea on the heels of the British successes. As each coastal city falls, it becomes a supply depot for the victorious British. Allied control of Mediterranean waters has made it possible to keep food and ammunition rolling right with the troops. The American Nazis are given no chance to dig in. Montgomery pushes on without pause, his armor mauling the German rear guards, her heads into the wounded Nazi's flank. Here the Americans got their baptism of battle, the hot flame that formed the German elite troops at Bazaar. Past hastily made German and Italian graves, the Americans moved to meet their British brothers-in-arms in the Battle of Africa in the Axis columns, frantically preparing a ring of defenses around the vital objectives of Tunis and Bezert. Bezert and Bezert have fallen, and with these two bastions of Axis resistance, prisoners counted in the tens of thousands fall to the victor. High officers, including Colonel General Van Arnhem, thousands of Italian and German troops lay down their arms and surrender. The Axis, some 400,000 men, in dead wounded and prisoners, is over. Mediterranean to the shores of Hitler's Fortress Europe.
