VE Day Commemorative Mug
Presented to Schoolchildren in the Brady Square Area
KENNETH
VICTORY IN EUROPE
8 MAY 1945
Ken says, "These are photographs of a plastic VE Day utility-ware Mug which was presented to children in the Brady Square area shortly after VE Day. The Mugs bore the given names of each child – in my case, Kenneth. I was only 2 years old at the time so I don’t know exactly when or where it was presented – whether it was a local, county or national – but my dad said he collected my Mug at Biddick School."
