I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the   1   celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not   2   much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw   3   houses in the streets and the very big   4   lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become   5   to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,   6   had been better, though I was too young to understand why,   7   there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had   8   heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very   9   to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now   10   V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting   11   and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and   12   myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.

It was May and still broad   13   when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to   14   the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very   15  , and somehow people had collected some old clothes to   16   “Hitler” with the moustache they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames   17   soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.

I stood beside my father until the   18   started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had   19   in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the   20   one.”
