DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE WAR?

I guess there is something about an anniversary that gets an old historian a bit excited, but I can hardly contain myself at the moment, I think I need a mayday about VE Day. Tomorrow, me and the boys will be chatting to a vet and he's got nothing to do with animals. Then in a few weeks time the bloomin Mayor of Hammersmith is going to be on stage with me Parkinson stylie blathering about his time in the bell bottomed British navy. I've hit Ebay with a vengeance and got a load of tat to put on display. You have to question why someone has kept a box of matches from 1944 and even more so why someone would buy it. Well I'm sure they will come in useful if the lights go down. If you want to know what the world and his dog are planning for VE plus 60 then check out WW2 People's War. You know you want to.
