Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Float candle-lit grapefruit skins on the River Wey at Send.
We are meeting to remember that the only time so far that nuclear bombs have been used in war, was in 1945 over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They killed a quarter of a million people and wiped out their cities. These atomic bombs were small compared with the 27,000 nuclear weapons in today’s arsenals. Woking Action for Peace is one of hundreds of groups worldwide campaigning to make the world a safer place by persuading the nuclear powers to eliminate their nuclear arsenals.
