27 BRITISH AND U.S. REPORTERS KILLED
Front-Line News Getting LONDON, September 30. Three war correspondents, William Munday of the “Sydney Morning Herald,” Stewart Sale of Reuter's, and A. B. Austin of the "Daily Herald," have been killed together near Naples. Their deaths* bring the war casualties among British war correspondents up to eight killed, 12 wounded and four missing. Eight others are prisoners or interned. Empire and American correspondents who have been killed number 27, with 33 wounded, seven missing, and 45 prisoners of war and internees.
Reuter’s says that Messrs. Munday, Sale and Austin were with the leading units of British armour which had advanced beyond Noeera. They were watching hidden enemy machine-gun positions tiring on a bridge when they were tired on by an unsuspected enemy gun hidden in another position, and a shell-burst killed them. Lord Burnham, director of Public Relations at the War Office, in paying a tribute to the work of the three journalists, said: "it again shows that war correspondents cannot do their jobs without, sharing the risks of front-line soldiers.”
