sDROITWICH came together last weekend to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory in Japan). A service of remembrance was led by Reverand Laura Handy, of The Saltway Team Ministry, in Victoria Square on Saturday morning (August 16). VJ Day is August 15. VJ Day marks the day Japan surrendered, on August 15, 1945, bringing the Second World War to a final close. Because VJ Day happened months after VE Day, those fighting in the Far East were known as the ‘forgotten army’.
