RECORDERS OF WAR

SIR,—I was very interested in your article of December loth, " Recorders of War," by J. L. Hodson. I am sure the public do not appreciate the sterling work of British correspondents in trying to bring a realistic picture of the war home to the people or that they expose themselves virtually to the same conditions as the troops in doing so. I assume it is through some inadvertence that the newspaper or organisation of the correspondents was mentioned in every case except ours. William Munday, who was killed in Italy, and Roderick Macdonald, who went with the first air-borne units into Sicily are both staff correspondents of the Sydney

Morning Herald.—Yours faithfully, L. 0. Sims.
