DESCRIPTION:What is Victory over Japan Day? \nVJ Day marks the anniversary
  of 15 August 1945 when Japan announced its surrender to the Allied forces
 .  \nThe surrender was met with relief and celebration that after six lo
 ng years the Second World War was finally over.  \nWhile millions took p
 art in parades and street parties\, there was also great sadness - the hum
 an cost was enormous and many eagerly awaited the safe return of loved one
 s.   \nOver 90\,000 British troops were casualties in the war against 
 Japan - 30\,000 died and 37\,500 were held as prisoners of war.  \nFor h
 undreds of thousands of service personnel from Britain and the Commonwealt
 h\, it would take many months to be reunited with loved ones\, some of who
 m they hadn’t seen for more than five years.
