| Weekly Review No 177 (1945) NZEF in Italy, Winter Quarters: The worst floods in 40 years stall the NZ Division's advance with roads and bridges washed out.

When the weather clears, the troops move on. 02.35 Champions at Work, Picking Peas in Nelson: The Waimea Plain is an area of mixed farming. In order to stimulate skill and interest in one essential activity, the Waimea Vegetable Growers Association organises a pea picking competition at Hope. 04.45 Home from Italy: Soldiers, airmen and Waccs arrive home on furlough draft from service in Italy to heart-warming scenes on the wharf.
