Don Firth: you're recollection coincides with mine of the dropping of the Atom bombs. I was 15 at the time.

However, I guess no one can say with complete accuracy that NO ONE danced in the streets when the event was announced on radio. It's even concievable that someone in Great Britain, McGrath, danced in the streets. After all, the armed forces of GB were no more anxious to be a party to the invasion of Japan than were those in the U.S.A.
