The Arctic convoys travelled from the United Kingdom and the United States to the northern ports of the Soviet UnionArkhangelsk and Murmansk. The convoys ran from Iceland north of Jan Mayen Island to Arkhangelsk when the ice permitted in the summer months, shifting south as the pack ice increased and terminating at Murmansk. However, as the air gap over the North Atlantic closed, Huff-Duff improved, airborne centimetric radar was introduced and convoys received escort carrier protection, the scope for commerce raiding diminished. Convoy PQ 18 departed Loch Ewe on September 2 with destination Archangelsk....
The Battle for Gavutu-Tanambogo, which took place from August 7 - August 9, 1942 was part of the initial Allied landings in the Guadalcanal Campaign.

At the end of July 1942, the 8th Italian Army unleashed an attack to establish a crossing point at the Don river at Serafimovic. Bersaglieri troops of the 3rd Celere Division, with assistance of the German 578th Regiment, moved in under artilley support. The Russians opened up with machine guns and mortars, but the troops moved swiftly, using covering fire and pure bravery to overrun Russian defensive positions. Support vehicles followed in their wake, and the Russian units retreated. They later came back to try to recapture this critical area - this time with tanks.
