Details

At the end of World War 2, peace in Europe was declared on 8th May 1945, although peace in the Far East did not arrive until a few months later, with VJ Day being commemorated on 15th August. As this year marks 80 years since VE and VJ Days, we have been looking through the Museum’s collection of objects associated with World War 2. One of the museum’s volunteers, Pamela Herbert, has created a display that shows items associated with rationing, public safety, returning soldiers, and remembers service personnel who died during the war.
