On This Date

May 7th ,1945:

Victory celebration, Piccadilly Circus
London May 7, 1945
 
...............................There were some very Happy people all over the World,
as Germany officially surrendered,to old Dwight,.............and the Hell of 5 or 6 years was finally over again,...................
However the news sparked a riot in Halifax ,by over exuberant service men,.(most likely a few lunatics ,ransacking & robbing stores,.and just generally taking advantage of the situationn)..................certainly not indicative of most of the People of the Time:
 
 
 
..............................good News is Worth Repeating......................HF&R

Les, the reason for the riot and looting was because the Halifax mayor of the day decided to close all the taverns in the city and the people were upset that they couldn't celebrate the end of the war. So what the mayor tried to prevent he only made worse.
