VE 80 - Share your story

As we approach the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 8th May, 2025, the Army Benevolent Fund is paying tribute to those who fought for our freedoms and who were part of this historic moment. 

We are inviting our supporters to share stories, memories, and photographs of friends and relatives, who were there as war ended and peacetime began. Your contributions will help us honour and bring this significant milestone to life.

Served in the Essex Yeomanry. He was involved in the D Day Landings, supporting the Canadian Army for the Battle of Caen and he fought through Europe. Unfortunately he didn't speak much of the war until later life.
