General notes

"Entrusted with a quick historic survey, G.M. Bland, City Librarian and Curator of the Museum and Art Gallery makes his recordings. Bland spent his days and evenings helping Eckard crystallise his story; claimed that he did so because of the American boys he had met during the war."
From a single request originating from station WTAG, Worcester, Massachusetts., has grown a long series of town to town broadcasts in the North Amercian service of the BBC. The most recent programme was made in Lancaster, England for Lancaster, Massachusetts by Stephen Eckhard, Amercian-born producer of the BBC. The progamme was broad cast in non-advertising time.
