> In response to a comment by

    Regarding the correctness of these dates, wikipedia does not
    even agree with the sources it quotes in the same page:

    •  Nancy J Pollock: "Naruans during World War II".
       online at [https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu], says on p 93:
       "The Japanese formally took possession of the island on 26 August 
1942,
       raised their flag in place of the Union Jack, began to build military
       installations, and ..."

       says: "Although they were expected sooner, a force of 300 
Japanese landed on Nauru
       on August 26, 1942, and immediately rounded up the remaining 
Europeans and made
       them prisoners."
