Part 4 of 4.

Broadcasting Unit Assistant Engineer Norman Johnston
[Military Service no. 34958] recounts anecdotes about making the Christmas programme, and comments on recordings they have made recently, noting that the portable recorder is now being used successfully. He thanks colleagues in New Zealand for passing on news to his fiancee Mary.

This item is part of a collection of recordings made by the Mobile Broadcasting Units, which travelled overseas with New Zealand forces between 1940-1945. They recorded New Zealanders' experiences of war and messages to their families and friends, which were sent back home to be played on a weekly radio programme.
