Between 1941 and 1945, the British Commonwealth forces and their allies fought a bitter campaign against the Japanese in Asia. Whilst VE Day, 8 May 1945, marked the end of the Second World War for many in Europe, thousands of British Commonwealth service personnel remained engaged in bitter conflict in the Far East. From the jungles of Burma to the remote islands of the Pacific, they fought a tenacious enemy across challenging terrain.

To mark 75 years since Victory over Japan (VJ) Day, 15 August 1945, we’re teaming up with The National Museum of the Royal Navy, The Royal Air Force Museum and The National Army Museum to bring you a series of free online talks and events exploring the contributions of the British Commonwealth forces and their allies during the Second World War’s Far East campaign.
