Re: OTish: VE Day

My mother was also 8 years old, she would be 9 in July of 1945 and my Dad was 10, but would be 11 in December 1945. They both remember their mother's crying (my Grandmothers) and being hugged tightly. My maternal Grandfather was home on leave when VE Day happened. My paternal Grandfather had a condition and could serve, but was in his local Home Guard (Army Reserve) battalion throughout the war.
