Both the Fall of Manila and the military advance into Malaya are reported with several photographic illustrations. A double page pictorial bird's-eye map of Singapore shows the location of airfields, oil tanks and military bases as the immediate target of the next Japanese attack.

The article argues that the colonial soldiers are second-class troops manipulated by Britain.
