The cutting contains a column about Canon Alexander's '35 Years at St Paul's', which describes Canon Alexander's dedication to protecting the Cathedral from bomb damage during wartime, noting that he was often 'almost unrecognisable in his dust and dirt', but which omits to mention the St Paul's Watch who were also actively protecting the Cathedral at the time. No date or newspaper name is evident for the larger press cutting.\par }
