headphone icon Prime Minister Sidney Holland's Christmas Day Announcement (7m 47s - 954k)
From Waiouru Military Camp. Note Holland was talking by phone line to Wellington, where the recording was made to disc for broadcast later. The occasional humming noise is probably from other telephone traffic causing the Holland signal to 'drop off' the line.
