I was three and remember being told about the day.
I was four for VJ Day and actually remember a bit of the hullabaloo.

From the Daily Telegraph:

Quote:

SIR – In May 1945 my father was fighting the Japanese in Burma.
On May 8, the order was given: “The war in Europe is over; fall out five minutes for a smoke.”

Pretty much Dad's experience and that of thousands of others in that part of the world at the time.
