Let’s Commemorate and Remember VJ Day Together
The 15th of August marks the anniversary of the Allies Victory over Japan Day, a key milestone which ultimately led to the end of World War Two.
Over 70,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers are estimated to have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the war against Japan. For many, VJ Day symbolises the end of a long period of suffering and unrest.
At midnight on August 15th 1945, the new British Prime Minister Clement Atlee announced the news, stating “The last of our enemies is laid low”.
