Fully agree Wander00, but there was no such confusion at the time, to be fair. Churchill had said that we could allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, with the implied reminder that here was still a war to be won. 14th army might well have considered themselves forgotten, but certainly not by their loved ones.
All who celebrated on VE Day were well aware that many of them faced shipping out to the Far East where the war might well drag on for years rather than months, and cost millions of lives more. Even those few who had privileged knowledge of the Manhattan Project didn't know if it could or would be used militarily against Japan. When it was, mercifully the war was over at last after six long wearying years.
Relief was more the reaction than rejoicing though. We now knew the depths which a supposedly civilised country had plumbed in Europe, and the depths to which an alien society in the Far East had sought to match it. In fairness to the former, its modern society has overwhelmingly repudiated its forbears in that regard. No such qualification can be made about the latter though.
