Part 1 of 4
Captain Joseph King [Military service number 9631] presents a radio talk about sports events in the 2NZEF.
He comments that they are in between seasons in the Middle East with little competition taking place. He reviews rugby games for the past season and previews cricket for the coming season. He also makes passing mention of a number of sports personalities he has seen in rugby and cricket circles.

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.
