Chard is set to commemorate Victory over Japan Day this month.
The day of celebration will mark 80 years since Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945, which officially ended World War Two.
Organised by Chard Museum and Chard Town Council, the event will pay tribute to the British, American, and many soldiers from former colonies like India, Australia, and New Zealand.
The war in the Far East claimed the lives of nearly 30,000 British soldiers.
The commemoration will take place at Chard Museum on Saturday, August 16, starting at 2pm.
The museum will host a day of activities centred around the remembrance of VJ Day.
A key feature of the event will be the original diary of Marine William Evans, who served on HMS Lothian, documenting the dire conditions that led to a mutiny en route to Japan.
Original photos from the family of Sgt Donald Hearson, who served in the Far East from 1942-1945, will also be on display.
Visitors will even have the chance to speak with Sgt Hearson's family members.
The event will also acknowledge the controversy surrounding VJ Day in 1945, when many soldiers felt like the 'Forgotten Army' as they were still abroad during the celebration.
As part of the day's proceedings, Chard will hold a short candle lighting service at 3pm.
Sue Heward will share a five-minute story every half hour, summarising the experiences of soldiers.
The day will also be a celebration of VJ Day, with live music in the Museum Paddock, alongside arts and crafts stalls, food, refreshments, and bric-a-brac and cake stalls.
