Japanese bombard Rendova Island
Friday, July 2, 1943 www.onwar.com

In the Solomon Islands... The American buildup on Rendova Island continues but the Japanese garrison continues to resist. During the night a Japanese naval force bombards the American positions with little effect.

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin’ through Kashmir.

That goes through my head whenever I see an article about Kashmir.

Nice to know that the moslems and Hindus only have superficial differences.
