Part 4 of 4

Commentary by NZBU commentator, Doug Laurenson, on the departure of
HMNZS Achilles leaving the NZ Troop ship convoy 3 days out into the
Tasman ocean from New Zealand.

This commentary has long periods of no commentary with background wind
noise and muffled voices.

"The troops sing 'For They Are Jolly Good fellows' followed by three
cheers. The Achilles is now leaving us going back to New Zealand".
