VE Day overshadows VJ Day, veterans' descendants say

Read our Privacy notice VE Day often overshadows VJ Day, descendants of Second World War veterans have said during a screening of their wartime letters. Passers-by paused to watch recordings of loved ones' reading excerpts from the notes at the free installation to commemorate VJ Day. One message, heard at the launch in central London on Tuesday, said: 'I'll think of you wherever you are, if it be near or far. I'll think of you. We'll meet again someday, when dreams come true.' Another line, from a doctor in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, read: 'Our dreams have finally come true. The nightmare is over.' VJ Day on August 15 marks the anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allies following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, effectively ending the Second World War. Veronica Silander's father was an RAF airman and prisoner of war in Batavia, now Jakarta in Indonesia, and wrote his letter around two months after he was captured. It was the first message Ms Silander's mother had received from Maurice Read since he was taken and it included the line: 'So once again, do not worry please. I am OK and intend to remain so.' As the letters played on the large screens behind, Ms Silander told the PA news agency: 'The youngsters need to know about (VJ Day), I think it's often in the shadow of VE Day. 'I think probably 80 years, you know, even people like myself are not going to be around that had direct contact with somebody, so I think we should mark it.' She added: 'I think my mother must have been very distressed to know that he was still a prisoner when all the celebration was going on.' Her father rarely spoke about the war but would say 'when you woke up in the morning, you didn't know who was going to be dead beside you'. Ms Silander knows little more than that he trained in Auckland, New Zealand, and was captured two weeks after they were taken to Singapore by sea. Families received leaflets telling them 'do not ask the veterans about the war', she said. 'I think they just wanted them to come home and forget about it,' she added. John Sanderson served with the Royal Navy in the Far East between 1944 and 1946, and his letter to his fiance included the line 'we'll meet again someday, when dreams come true'. His son, Brian Sanderson, told PA: 'My father always said VJ Day was forgotten.' He would tell his wife that while people were dancing on VE Day 'I had kamikaze pilots coming down on me still'. VJ Day was hardly marked until recently, Mr Sanderson said, adding that his parents did not often speak about the war. 'That's the sad thing, is that we never asked them, they never spoke about it, and the stories have gone – I have no-one left from the Second World War,' he said. The installation runs until Saturday at Outernet, near Tottenham Court Road station, and was organised in partnership with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

Georgina Hayden's recipe for grilled peach, gorgonzola and thyme tartine
Essentially a fancy name for 'things on toast', a tartine is a topless sandwich that can be piled high with delicious things with no threat of being squished together. I love the simplicity and elegance of this recipe: it is the perfect balance of sweet and sour, spicy and salty, and it feels special at the same time. Griddle and marinate the peaches ahead of time, if you like, and feel free to switch them for nectarines, apricots or whatever you have to hand that looks good for griddling. Prep 5 min Cook 20 min Serves 2 2 peaches (about 200g)Olive oilSea salt and black pepperA few sprigs fresh thyme1 tbsp honey 1 pinch red chilli flakes 1 small ciabatta, or half a large one1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half150g gorgonzolaA handful of rocket leaves Put a griddle pan on a high heat. Halve the peaches, remove the stones and cut the fruit into wedges. Put the wedges in a small bowl, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and season generously. Add the leaves from the thyme sprigs, toss to coat, then griddle the peach slices for a minute or two on each side, until they take on dark char lines and soften slightly. Return them to the bowl, add the honey and chilli flakes, toss again and set aside. Heat the grill to high. Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally and toast under the hot grill for a couple of minutes, until golden and very lightly toasted. Drizzle each slice with olive oil and rub with the cut side of the halved garlic clove. Cut the gorgonzola into ½cm-thick slices and lay these over one side of the ciabatta halves. Return to the grill for just a minute, until oozy, then top with the dressed peaches. Toss the rocket with any remaining dressing in the peach bowl, arrange on top of the tartines and tuck in.
