To the men of the Forces: a letter in words and music from Vera Lynn, accompanied by Fred Hartley and his Music. 'News from home', messages from munition girls to their husbands, and congratulations to some new fathers in the Forces. Presented by Howard Thomas
A novel feature of these programmes, which team up two of the most popular radio stars among the Forces, is Vera Lynn's 'News from home', and the high spot of this feature is undoubtedly the introduction of the biggest news of all to some lucky individuals - news of the birth of a son or daughter.
This very intimate news service is Howard Thomas's bright idea. His great hope is that twins will arrive just before a broadcast, so he has arranged with the London hospitals that they should telephone the BBC any time twins are born there on Sundays. Failing that, he rings one of the hospitals to collect a story about a soldier's baby born during the day.
