Often referred to as the "greatest generation" it's not hard to see why.
They were pioneers that laid the foundations to what many take for granted today.
They also accepted considered risk.
Sadly, Australia in 2023 is pathetically risk averse.
e.g. 23km long traffic jam in Sydney today the sprinkler system in road tunnel failed after a test....with the transport minister bleating "we have to put safety first".
I think lack of sprinklers for a few hours would not have led to anything catastrophic.
