The feature story was of the ongoing battle on the island of Guadalcanal, the principle island of the Solomon Islands.  The Marines and the Army would confront a determined foe there, in the Japanese soldier. The battle would rage from August 7th, 1942 to February, 9th, 1943. This newspaper concerns the time period between October 23rd through the 26th, 1942, where the battle for Henderson Airfield would rage.
