| 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. |

Thought . . .
From a FEPOW . . . “It
is not necessary to exaggerate or embellish on the stories
of the Far East Prisoner of War camps or the men who were interned
in them - the story is unbelieveable enough as it is !" |
