97-year-old Rangiora veteran was in Tokyo Bay for surrender and end of war


HMS Gambia in Tokyo Bay about 900 metres from the
USS Missouri, where the official surrender ceremony was held on September 2, 1945.
A few weeks prior to the ceremony, Japanese Emperor Hirohito surrendered in a radio announcement on August 15, ending the war.
Despite the announcement, including an order to ‘cease hostilities’, waves of ‘kamikaze pilots’ arrived, and a Japanese aircraft exploded as it was shot down overhead.
The quietly spoken village resident was involved in allied attacks on Japanese shipping, military and industrial targets in the Indian Ocean and Dutch East Indies between 1943 and 1945.
