Victory Over Japan Day 80th Anniversary Commemorative Pin Badge 2025

VJ Day 80^th Anniversary 15^th August 2025

As Europe celebrated the surrender of German forces on VE Day, thousands of British, Commonwealth and Allied Armed Forces personnel were still involved in bitter fighting in the Far East. 

Victory over Japan Day on the 15th August marks the surrender of Japan forces, which in effect ended the Second World War. For months after VE Day on the 8th May 1945 war continued to wage in the Asia-Pacific region.

90,332 British troops were casualties in the war against Japan, of which 29,968 died and 12,433 were held as prisoners of war. Of the Allied forces, the U.S. suffered the greatest losses, with more than 100,000 killed in action.

80 years on we are remembering the contribution of all British, Commonwealth and Allied Forces, without whom victory and the freedoms and way of life we enjoy today would have not been possible.
