Don't remember VE Day except sometimes it was mentioned and I heard and remembered the VE DAY
name. Until much later I always got confused with VE and VJ Days.
Dad was in East Africa and Egypt ,civilian in Air Ministry on airfield maintenance and didn't come home until April 1947. He was posted back to East Africa (RAF Eastleigh, Nairobi), in 1951 and all the family went with him for a couple of years.
May 8th is also my late wife's birthday (but not until 1950.) So I have special memories of my own then, ( but not forgetting the sacrifices made by all the other brave folk).
