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.
