15^th August 2020 is the 75th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day, marking the surrender of Japan and the end of World War Two.

15^th August is an important day for our charity too, as we mark our own anniversary. We were formed in 1944, one year before VJ Day, to ensure that soldiers returning from World War Two would be taken care of. Since then, the welfare of soldiers, past and present, has been at the heart of everything we do.

We have planned a series of VJ Day 75 initiatives to honour the memory of those who fought in the Far East and commemorate the many personal victories of our Army family since 1945.

This special podcast will focus on the events surrounding the Burma campaign, from the Fall of Singapore to the eventual defeat of Japan by the Fourteenth Army.
