“On Kiska Island, after Allied troops had landed, this grave marker was discovered in a small graveyard amid the bombed-out ruins in August of 1943. The marker was made and placed by members of the occupying Japanese Army, after they had buried an American pilot who had crashed on the island. The marker reads: ‘Sleeping here, a brave air-hero who lost youth and happiness for his Mother land. July 25 - Nippon Army’”
