VJ75 Day 2020

Thank you Adam for the VJ75 on the forum heading.

Royal Family to lead tributes marking VJ Day 75.

Nice touch.

 

Thanks Adam. Like it a lot.

 

Thanks Adam. Sincerely appreciated.

 

Am I missing something, or is it because I live on the wrong side of the Channel? I still only see the VE-Day heading...

 

I wouldn't use that picture if I were you. It is quite wrong to show a No.5 wielding Chindit.

 

A very nice touch indeed well done Adam.

 

Beginning to doubt myself... where should I look???

 

This is what on the headline above but green bordered.

 

This is what I still see right now...

 

I just put up what I thought Adam had used for his template.

 

It works! Although new style takes some getting used to...

 

Pleased to see this.

 

Thanks, to whoever did this...

From the age of 4 to 7 my father, with his little brother and mother, was in a Japanese camp on Java. They had to bow and praise the emperor. When his mother was punished, he wasn't allowed to interfere. His father, a Dutch POW, in his early 40's, was a laborer on the Burma railroad. He never spoke much about it. I only know he lost a finger and was saved being beaten up because a British officer interfered. I don't know what happened to the officer, but still hope he wasn't punished instead. My immediate family all survived. My grandfather's brother in law, however, got killed in the sinking of the Junya Maru. Pretty sure I wouldn't be here if the war hadn't ended by 15 August 1945.

 

Quality tribute. Nice one.
