Explanation: In Lord Mountbatten's words, as told to Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre: "The date I chose came out of the blue. I chose it in reply to a question. I was determined to show I was master of the whole event. When they asked had we set a date, I knew it had to be soon. I hadn't worked it out exactly then- Ithought it had to be about August or September and I then went out to the 15th August. Why? Because it was the second anniversary of Japan's surrender. |
