75th Anniversary (7: 1945)


Day 7: 1945 - The final year of World War 2. 

 

 

The 8th May was VE Day Victory in Europe Day, the date when the Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of Germany & marking the end of the war in Europe.

 

 In the Pacific it would be another 3 months before VP Day - Victory in the Pacific, and even longer till the first of a series of welcome home celebrations in Horsham - the first was on 19th October. 

 

Today marks 75 years since VP Day.
