Through the indefatigability and enthusiasm of Matt Nixson, the Features Editor of the Daily Express, the newspaper delivered the best pieces on VJ-Day of all the papers this year, by a country mile. Matt did this by engaging the help of some of us working in the field. He did the same earlier in the year with a fabulous package of articles on VE-Day.
Anyway, a selection of those published last week, by Phil Craig, yours truly, Iain MacGregor, General Lord Dannatt, Dr Richard Duckett and Professor Saul David are attached below for your reading delectation. Thank you Matt, and well done. Without your initiative none of this would have happened.
Splendid!
Can’t read those articles on my phone - will comment further a bit later.
Thank you Robert I was able to read them on the iPad. Separately this may be of interest Royal New Zealand Airforce combat Solomon Islands, https://youtu.be/gRvYlEc9Ex4?si=NbiULtdRIJ90GgsO history attacking Rabaul.
