Mobile Unit broadcaster Doug Laurenson introduces a recording for the Troops' Radio Request Session: greetings and a song request from Ed Robinson [Military Service no. 2901] to 23 Hemi Street, Devonport, Auckland. He sends greetings to his family and sends a request for "Hungarian Rhapsody No 2"

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.
