After the formal surrender of Japan on 2 September, the British began playing catch-up so far as the re-occupation of its former colonies were concerned.
On that day it was agreed between the Japanese local commander and the British that the formal surrender of the Island of Penang would be signed that day on the HMS Nelson.
The senior Japanese Naval Commander, Rear Admiral Jisaku Uzumi, duly arrived to sign the document of surrender proudly displaying his Distinguished Service Cross awarded to him by the British in WWI.
