Trail launched in the lead up to VJ Day
A NEW poetry trail has been launched at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire in the lead up to VJ Day.
From tomorrow until November 16, visitors to the Alrewas-based site can follow the new free 'Poetic Reflections' trail featuring 10 poems by Arji Manuelpillai, Poet-in-Residence at the attraction.
The trail has been put together ahead of the 80th anniversary of VJ (Victory over Japan) Day on Friday.
The series of poems explore incredible stories of bravery, sacrifice, and service in the Far East during the Second World War.
Visitors can walk through the Far East zone, listening to Arji's poems while standing alongside the memorials that helped inspire them.
