The 340th Regiment landed in Skagway on April 25th. One battalion went to Whitehorse and the other battalion stayed in Skagway until after the Dutch Harbor bombing in early June. Late May the ice broke and the battalion in Whitehorse steamed up Teslin Lake to Morley Bay. The second battalion arrived in Carcross and marched 73 miles over a pioneer road the 93rd had built and then boarded barges and made their way to Morley Bay. From this point on the 93rd and the 340th were entwined during their construction of the road to Teslin and Lower Post.
