I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended but I can still remember something about the 21 celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not 22 much from the war there though like most children of my age I often saw 23 houses in the streets and the very big 24 lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 25 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war” obviously 26 had been better though I was too young to understand why 27 there had been no bombs then and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas which I had 28 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London but this meant very 29 to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now 30 V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting 31 and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time and then I went home and 32 myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.

It was May and still broad 33 when my mother arrived and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to 34 the bonfire so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very 35 and somehow people had collected some old clothes to 36 “Hitler” with the moustache they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived they set light to it. The flames 37 soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.

I stood beside my father until the 38 started to go down not knowing what to say. He said nothing either. He had 39 in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said “Well that’s it son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the 40 one”
