What Bill Wanted A Letter From a Customer
A country storekeeper finds a long misspelled customer letter listing foods and household items desired for Christmas. The earnest shopper requests flour sugar coffee spices baking powder cheese barbed wire and tea among many items, notes a fire and injured animals, and wishes a merry Christmas and happy new year. The message blends humor with practical wants and dated spelling.

Death of Arthur Banning Dall After Car Journey
Arthur Banning Dall died July 17 after leaving Tachbrook for Darkan, about ten miles distant. Found dead by another motorist mid journey, heart attack suspected, a condition linked to gas exposure in France during the war. He served as a corporal in the 4th Division with Field Artillery Brigade and was cited in Haig's January 1 1918 despatch for service at Bullecourt Messines and Ypres. His wife Mrs Dall had been in Perth and returned to spend their fourth wedding anniversary together.
