For You Aussies.
9th November 1937: A mason cements blocks of stone into position, carved with the names of the fallen, in the military ceremony at Villiers-Bretonneux, near Amiens. The memorial is the Australian National Memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and the names of the 10,860 Australians who have no known grave in France will be carved on it. Completion is expected in spring 1938.
 
The American two-seater 'flying tricycle', said to be the world's safest airplane, as it arrived at Croydon aerodrome.

The two seater is known as the Stearman Hammond 'Y'. Photo shows, the 'flying tricycle' in-flight. 10 November 1937.
