Mobile Unit broadcaster Doug Laurenson introduces a greeting and song request for the Troops' Radio Request Show, from Walter Goddard [Military Service no. 7474] of Lyall Bay, Wellington.

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.
