Johnston, Norman B., Speaker/Kaikōrero
New Zealand Broadcasting Service. Mobile Recording Unit

Assistant engineer with the New Zealand Broadcasting Unit Norman Johnston sends congratulations to colleague John Proudfoot [Military Service no. 34958] on his engagement. He talks about plans the unit has, including hosting the Egyptian State Broadcasting Service to dinner tonight, as the ESBS has been very helpful to them.

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.
