Mobile Unit broadcaster Doug Laurenson introduces a recording for the Troops' Radio Request Session: greetings and a song request from Bill McNair [Military Service no. 8131] of Christchurch. He sends greetings to Richmond and Beckenham and to his mother. His request is for "Till We Meet Again"

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.
