Today marks the 80th anniversary of VJ Day and the end of the WWII. We remember and honour those who served in The Pacific and the Far East. Whilst victory in Europe had been secured on 8th May 1945, many troops including men from Desford, remained engaged in combat in this region until the Japanese finally surrendered on August 15th 1945. Brian Hardy joined the Royal Engineers and rose to Corporal. He died on 13th October 1943 and is commemorated in Chungkai War Cemetery in Thailand. He was taken prisoner of war in Japanese Occupied Territory and was one of the many who died during the construction of the notorious Burma – Siam railway. Their service and their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Our #DesfordHeritage #vjday80 #remembrance #Desford #heritageuk (fb)
