This year we mark the momentous milestone of 80 years since the end of the Second World War. We cannot do so without honouring those who continued to fight and be held in brutal captivity in the Far East and Pacific, long after the VE Day celebrations erupted. #VJDay80 (1/10)

Tune in to BBC One on Friday as we mark 80 years since victory over Japan, the moment the Second World War finally came to an end. We are honoured to host the national commemoration at the National Memorial Arboretum, and will be joined by veterans who served in the Far East. #VJDay80 1/2

On this 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember all who served in the Far East and Burma during WW2. Today we commemorate the courage, endurance, and sacrifice of all who saw active service and remember those who never returned home. #VJDay80 National Memorial Arboretum Royal British Legion

Today at the National Memorial Arboretum we were proud to host 33 Second World War veterans of the campaign in the Far East and the Pacific for our VJ Day 80 commemorations.

In our VJ Day Special, Lord Slim, grandson of FM Slim, shared the mission of the Burma Star Memorial Fund, which keeps the memory of the Burma Campaign alive, having continued the original Burma Star Association’s mission to promote comradeship & help veterans #LordSlim

I have just had my Ebay find framed. This VEGETATION MAP BURMA vividly captures the harsh and diverse terrain that all who saw active service in this campaign had to live and fight within. In Burma, the environment was not just an obstacle, but a shared and deadly adversary.

Some lovely reviews coming in: 'Whether you are interested in the history of WW2 or enjoy reading about the lives and experiences of those who lived through the upheaval and trauma of the first half of the 20th century, this is a thrilling and satisfying read.'

Looking forward to visiting the National Memorial Arboretum today with members of the Leyland Veterans Group & making a special visit to the Burma Star Memorial Fund Charity Memorial in tribute & memory of my dad CSM Peter N McIntosh 1st Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders & Burma Star Holder, Respect & Thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
