An event to remember those who sacrificed their lives and served their country will take place next month.

The special memorial ceremony on November 12th will celebrate the lives of more than 4,000 Allied prisoners held in POW camps on the island from 1942 to 1945.

The Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society and the Australian Office in Taipei organized the service, and say nine family members of the former Taiwan POWs will attend.

Reservations are required for chartered bus service and a picnic lunch after the memorial in New Taipei’s Jinguashi.
