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.
