Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Canadian Troops; wearing the U.S. army equipment issued for the operations; are shown here marching against a dreary background typical of the Aleutians. When the Japs left Kiska they forfeited their last base in the Aleutians. The threat of bombing to the Pacific coast was also lifted by their departure.

Vivid memories are stirred by these World War I steel helmets, on the left a Canadian tin hat and on the right a German sniper's helmet. L. W. Currell, a businessman and retired lieutenant-colonel, displayed the helmets at a talk on the battle of Vimy Ridge in which Canadian troops distinguished themselves. Currell, a 19-year-old private at the time, told of the battle in Erindale Untied Church last night.
