Mobile Unit broadcaster Doug Laurenson introduces a greeting from Jimmy Spencer [Military Service no. 3820] of Rotorua, calling 69 Clarence St, Ponsonby. He makes a request for "Ebb Tide."

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.
