| PJ Murphy wonders if the young men of Eton and Winchester who colluded to cheat in examinations are heading for a career in banking (Letters, 1 September). If history is a guide, I suspect that they are as likely to make their way into politics, where they will find they are equally well prepared and be welcomed by familiar faces who had been taught in the same way.Alan BrownYork | PJ Murphy wonders if the young men of Eton and Winchester who colluded to cheat in examinations are heading for a career in banking (Letters, 1 September).

The distinguished American surgeon H Cushing, who worked on the western front, recorded in his memoir, From a Surgeon’s Journal, that officers’ coffins were of seasoned wood while unseasoned green elm was deemed appropriate for other ranks.Kevin FitzgeraldNorwich | • Nails and screws were not the only differential when it came to burying the dead in the first world war (Letters, 31 August).
