ALL ASIAN WAR GRAVES PHOTOS AVAILABLE - FREE!

In 2011 it was announced on the Taiwan POW Society website that photos of the graves of   the former Taiwan POWs who are buried at Sai Wan War Cemetery in Hong Kong were available from the Society to POWs, family members, historians etc. - FREE of CHARGE.     At the same time it was mentioned that photos of other war graves in the cemeteries in Hong Kong were available from Tony Banham, and that the Thai-Burma Railway Centre (TBRC) in Thailand would also pass on photos from the cemeteries at Kanchanaburi, Chungkai and Thanbyuzayat, Burma - all at no cost as well.

Another member living in Asia - Tony Beck, who has photographed literally tens of thousands of war graves and memorials throughout the region, has joined with us and on July 1, 2012   we launched the

ASIA WAR GRAVES PHOTO GROUP (AWGPG)

The purpose of the group is to distribute good quality photos of war graves and names on the various memorials from the war cemeteries located all across Asia - FREE OF CHARGE - to POWs, family members, relatives, researchers and historians – with the sole aim of keeping the memory of the veterans and POWs alive, so that present and future generations will not forget the sacrifices they have made so far from home. We want to help ensure that they are not forgotten.
