A Bonanza of Information - Oh those Canadians - Alpo any one ? ~ RHF

From what I've heard there may only be one air check in existence of Lorne
Greene reading the news on CBC Radio during World War II. He was after all
"just" an announcer (as well as a radio actor) rather than an actual
reporter. What does exist is a lot of material from reporters like Matthew
Halton who were at the front with Canadian troops. Most of the material you
find of this sort is the actual "raw" recordings that Halton and other
reporters made on site using "portable" transcription disk recorders. The
process of getting this material on the air (from say the Italian Front) was
to send the disks to an airbase where transports were flying, fly them to a
shortwave transmitter site in North Africa (Algeria I think) where they'd be
transmitted to London. In London the reports would again be put on disk and
that would be transmitted by shortwave to the CBC.
