Christmas With The Forces
NEW ZEALANDERS are serving overseas in many theatres of war. They are fighting or standing to in the Middle East, Singapore, Fiji, and England; New Zealand seamen are scattered over the oceans of the world; and New Zealand airmen are playing their part in the great air training scheme in Canada. From all these places Christmas greetings have been collected by the NBS for broadcast in a special Christmas Day programme which will be listened to by thousands whose thoughts will be far away from New Zealand that day. Christmas with ‘the Forces will be heard from 1YA, 2YA, 3YA, 4YA, 2YH, and 4YZ, in two parts, from 9.0 to 10.0 on Christmas morning and from 6.30 to 7.30 p.m, the same day. The complete two-hour presentation will. be repeated from 2YA at 11.15 p.m. Forty-five minutes are devoted to greetings from the Middle East, and it is hoped to include special messages, including one from Major-General B. C. Freyberg, it they arrive in time. The portions of the programme from England, Singapore, Fiji, and Canada, have been made possible through the cooperation of the BBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Malaya Broadcasting Corporation and the Fiji Radio Service. The regular "With the Boys Overseas" radio magazine will be broadcast at the usual times. os ws
