Eleven V.C.'s At One Time
Unique Broadcast on November 8 S everybody knows, 11 New Zealand winners of the Victoria Cross were gathered together recently in Wellington as the guests of the Government. During their visit they were invited in a body to the NBS studios to make a recording. First of all the roll was called. This tells _ listeners the names of this company of valour, and each man’s response is heard. Then the V.C. winners were asked one by one to give a message, and they did so. They spoke of the R.S.A. appéal on Rose Day, November 9, in various parts of New Zealand, when people will be asked to subscribe to a fund for the general welfare of men and women-in the services. "We can’t give listeners your portraits,’ said the interviewer, "but we can give them your voices." So 11 V.C. winners spoke to the people of New Zealand. This unique series of messages is to be broadcast from the main National Stations this Thursday, November 8 (the evening before Rose Day) at 6.30 p.m. following the 6.15 p.m. BBC News.
