24 BBC Mountbatten not forgotten front

I have no wish to conceal the seriousness of our task. Much hard fighting and hard marching lies before us. Where a long way yet in the end, and Japan is still strong and aggressive. But we hold the initiative and the end is sure.

Already, more and better, and USO entertainment are on the way. More movie projectors and films have arrived. More and better cigarettes will be available. and last but not least, spare. We were never really the forgotten front, they may have seemed to be so.

From now on I can assure you that we should be more and more in the thoughts of those at home who realize fully what we are doing and what we are at TV.
