Part 9 of 11.

Recordings of a concert for men on board a 3rd Echelon troopship, "Empress of Japan", recorded by the New Zealand Mobile Broadcasting Unit. Humorous song written and sung by Major Dr Jack Caughey [Military Service no.31827] of Auckland, "Oh a Soldier Leads Mostly a Dog's Life".

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.
