Today marks eighty years since VJ Day - Victory over Japan Day - when Japan surrendered and World War Two ended.
Post-war, twelve thousand New Zealand troops went to Japan to 'de-militarise' the country.
To commemorate the anniversary, Ngā Taonga Sound and Vision is sharing some 200 historical audio recordings of New Zealanders who served in Japan as part of "J-Force".
Sound Historian Sarah Johnston has been working with these recordings and shares some of them with Emile.
