Forgive me this, but the women looked one hell of a lot better, too. I also like those khaki uniforms on the Navy guys and their (scuse me folks) cunt caps. They just looked so sharp!

No fakes, or at the least very little... I don't even think that coloring their hair blond was popular at the time. 3 cheers for the natural look, at least from me.

Thanks, all! I know the video is about VJ Day but it's the look back at that slice of time that really captured me. It was cool seeing people in more or less candid scenes just being themselves.

Nice video Bart.
But where's Hotel Street in the video, which is where, if it were my guess 80 percent of the Service Men on the Island would have been on that day.

Very nice Bart, as I was born there and lived there as a young kid it had an emotional meaning to me.
Thank You.
