Remembrance and Celebration - Wiltshire OPC Project

Our Tribute To Wiltshires’ Heroic & Famous Sons and Daughters

Here we remember those men and women with Wiltshire connections who paid the ultimate sacrifice whilst in the service of their country during both war and peace. This includes civilians who died due to war time action as well as those who died as prisoners of war, and through accident or disease. We also recognise the sacrifices made by the Emergency Services of Wiltshire.

We also remember the events when visitors and Wiltshire folk lost their lives in major disasters within the county, together with traumatic events outside of the county, where those with Wiltshire connections lost their lives.

We also celebrate the lives of individuals connected to the County, who had global, national or county-wide fame for achievement in the arts, sporting, literary, sciences, political. religious and medical fields.

This list below displays these sacrifices and notable events which occurred on this day in history over a period of 7 days, this is the current date and three days either side.

15-08-1945	Event - Military	1945 - VJ Day - On this day the end of World War II effectively came to an end when the Japanese Imperial Forces surrendered. The formal signing of the surrender document took place on the 2nd September 1945
15-08-1947	Event - Non-Military	1947 - Today we join with those across India to celebrate Independence Day. India gained independence from the UK after what was in the main a peacefully negotiated transfer of power. Mahatma Ghandi having a major influence in the independence negotiations. During the British Raj, the East India Company and the British Army encouraged British women to migrate to India to marry soldiers and other men working in the colony. These women, often referred to as "Brides of the Raj," were part of a system that aimed to establish a stable, European-style society within India. (My own grandfather from Bremhill was one of these soldiers and all but one of his 7 children were born in India). During research we have found a few women from Wiltshire who also went to India to find a husband.
