Free Talk: The Long Road to Peace: Ramsgate and VJ Day
View More
Eighty years after Victory Over Japan Day heralded the end of the Second World War, this talk by Ramsgate Tunnels' Historian Isaac Naylor, reflects on Ramsgate's connection to a theatre of the conflict often
overlooked. Drawing on newly researched biographical accounts, we honour the lives of local servicemen who fought - and fell - in Southeast Asia, and explore how their sacrifice, and the wider impact of the conflict, shaped the life of the town.
This poignant anniversary offers not only a moment to honour the fallen but also an opportunity to understand the far-reaching impact of global conflict on local lives. Join us as we remember, reflect, and ensure their stories are never forgotten.
