Part 3 of 3.
Recordings made at a musical recital in the officers' lounge of a troop ship ("Empress of Japan") carrying the 3rd Echelon of the 2NZEF overseas.
Tenor Tony Rex [Military Service no. 26278] sings two items with piano accompaniment:
"Songs of Nonsense" (Composer T. Kirk-Burnnand)
"I've got a Secret that Nobody Knows"
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.
