FEPOW Memorial Day
Michael Hurst, who lives on Taiwan and runs the
Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society web site (http://www.powtaiwan.org/),
informed us about a new proposal for an FEPOW Day to be celebrated on August
15th of each year and requesting our support. For information about this
project, go to
http://www.fepow-day.org:80/index.htm.
As you will see, the site says that it has "been set up to promote August 15th
as a day of remembrance for all those who were held as Japanese Prisoners of War
during World War II, whatever nationality, colour or religion, whether service
personnel, civilian or romusha."
