| LOGO
of the TAIWAN POW CAMPS MEMORIAL SOCIETY
Our
logo - a poppy cross superimposed on a map of Taiwan was chosen
because in the fall of 1998 the returning POWs laid poppy
crosses at all the former campsites they visited. The poppy
cross is recognised worldwide as a symbol of remembrance to
war veterans. |
