It covers the Japanese military thrusts in Southeast Asia, including into the Philippines and Malaya. 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.

Interestingly, an article on colonial soldiers covers the ANZAC and Indian soldiers during WW1 and speculates on their possible contributions in the Second World War. The article argues that the colonial soldiers are second-class troops manipulated by Britain.
