Great article for our friends over at Coburg Rsl Sub-Branch and a good read to boot !

The newspaper article in today's The Age about Coburg RSL and the future of RSL Victoria. Coburg RSL slogans of "Your Club. Your Community. Our Veterans" and "All Welcome" remain at the forefront of what we stand for. If you have not visited Coburg RSL at 323 Sydney Road, Coburg, Victoria, 3058 please do so.

Today is Victory in the Pacific Day.

On this day in 1945 hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate the end of the Second World War following the surrender of Japan.

The following is an excerpt from The Herald newspaper reporting on celebrations in the city of Melbourne.

"Confetti Showers Upon City's Roistering Crowds.

Melbourne is boiling over with joy.

A quarter of a million people who heard the news just as they
started work, turned out into the streets as soon as the full
truth of it dawned on them.

They turned the streets to snowstorms with torn paper before they left their offices and then yelled and cheered and sang for hours in packed roadways.

Bands started up and kept the whole city milling like a huge circus as the people poured around the main blocks.

Hours passed before anybody was calm enough for dancing in the streets to the music of the bands and the mobile broadcasters the City Council had provided."

Join the RSL for a service to mark the 80th anniversary of VP Day at the Shrine of Remembrance at 11am. See story here: https://rslvic.com.au/news/rsl-victoria-to-commemorate-80th-anniversary-of-victory-in-the-pacific/
