Part 11 of 11.

Part of a series of recordings of an ENSA concert in Egypt, performed for several hundred British troops from all parts of the world, [presumably including New Zealand men.] Reg Cleaver leads the audience in singing "We'll meet again" and the announcer signs off from "This little patch of Britain in the desert."

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. "
