Archway Hint of 10th Century Nun Convent Found by Diggers
Australian troops at a British ALF camp uncover a stone arch believed to come from a nun’s convent dated around 980. Glazed tiles with crosses and fleurs de lys emerge among rubble, while a king’s signature remains in the visitors’ book. Major-General Wynter notes lost relics and a royal flag is hastily removed post inspection. Trench work continues with a recruitment plea: men wanted, four four per day.

Surprise Move By Mr. Drummond Shifts Support in New England Seat
The minister announced on Friday he would back Mr. Abbott for the New England Federal seat, switching from prior support of Mr. Thompson. Abbott is running against Thompson and Shand and Cuthbertson in a four-candidate field, all from the Country Party.
