Pfc Edward Boska, uncle, fought in that one (Attu) participated in landing on Kiska. Killed in accident just before being sent home as war ended.
That must have been an especially bitter blow to his family (which included you, aged about 13, according to your profile). Waiting and worrying during the combat of the war years and then thinking he had made it and would be coming home.
I often wonder about the “uncles” who never came home and just left a hole in the family tree. My wife’s aunt had a brother who went down in a submarine. So, she and her sibs had kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, but his was the family that never was.
