From Judge David Q. Miller

Sir: Reading of the appalling treatment of the Australian lady, Julie Hope, at Stansted, I reflected upon the very different behaviour of those Australians who volunteered in their thousands to come to our assistance not only in both world wars but also in the Boer war, and those who gave their lives and lie buried in the cemeteries of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.

The 50-year-old friend of James Hughes Onslow no doubt presented a soft target to the Stansted immigration officials.
