In the Solomon Islands... At Guadalcanal, General Kawagucki’s troops suffer 1200 casualties in their initial assault. The attacks trail off and stop.

In New Guinea... The Japanese take the Kokoda Trail. The Australians have been forced back to Imita Ridge. The fighting is now only 30 miles outside Port Moresby.

In the Aleutian Islands... The Japanese-held island of Kiska is bombed by American forces.
