Wingate and era leaders shape war pedigree profiles
In a panorama of wartime figures the piece profiles Brigadier Orde Wingate with ties to Lawrence of Arabia and his Burma commando clash against Japan. It also sketches Lana Paterson’s marriage, and profiles Frank Bane as a top administrator and story lover in postwar public life. It notes Archibald Sinclair’s liberal leadership and Britain's air offensive mood with ongoing Allied air raids over German cities.
