Sergeant Major for 4ZB
SERGEANT-MAJOR who can be tamed,*modulated, turned off, at will must surely be the answer to the prayers of the troops. Such,a one will be taking the air shortly to conduct a new Services Session from 4ZB. Otherwise known as Lindsay Brown, the "SergeantMajor" (below) will, cover a wide rangé of matters of interd&t to ex-servicemen and women, and wil] extend the scope of the services programme beyond what
LU has been attempted in the past. The new session-to be broadcast on Sundays at 9.45 am., beginning February 7-re-places the present Diggers’ Session, which has been running since 1938. Conducted. over the years by various compéres, the Diggers’ Session has always been a popular programme, cov- | ering many service topics and providing _a notice-board to keep ex-service people in touch with what is going on in their various associations. Music, too, has had its place, and studio programmes by guest artists were a regular feature of the programme. Potentially more popular than any previous persom of that rank, the new "Sergeant-Major" has had considerable "experience of service matters and understands the serviceman’s outlook and interests. He left New Zealand for the Middle East in 1940, at the age of 19, was wounded in the battle for Crete, and spent the remainder of the overseas service entertaining the troops with the Kiwi Concert Party.
