A lengthy, opinionated letter from Herbert T. Biggs dated Forbes 28/8 44 rebuts Rev Brooks on Christian duty and postwar law. It argues faith and sacrifice align with Christ’s example, critiques survival of the fittest rhetoric, and questions public policy and local government accountability amid wartime debates.

Simple device to minimise bomber cable damage adopted in Britain
A World War II era note describes a strange device to protect aircraft electrical wiring from enemy fire. A 22 bullet test suggested draping cables loosely at intervals rather than taut along their length. The idea aims to reduce damage and keep bombers functional after combat. The report also notes the Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force strength surpassing 18,000 since March 1941.
