"Part of a series of recordings for radio broadcasts on Christmas Day 1940 in New Zealand:
Part 11 of 12

A dubbing of a commercial recording of a choir singing ""Land of Hope and Glory"", with organ and orchestral accompaniment. This is followed by an unidentified New Zealand military padre offering a benediction prayer."

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.
