Richard Taylor was serving in the RAF
in a mountainous region on the Iraqi-
Turkish border, and did not hear of the
Allied victory until after VJ Day.
"We had an old domestic radio from
which we occasionally heard from a far-
away radio station.
"We did hear something or other about
some sort of atomic affair but none of
us seemed to take much notice," he says
K Yabsley heard of the atomic bombs and
adds: "After so many high explosives
had been dropped in the preceding six
years it was difficult to comprehend
what a nuclear explosion entailed."
