The FEPOW Memorial Building
at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire
On December
16th 1994 an article in a local newspaper made an incredible
impact on one woman who read it, so much so that three years
later it brought about the beginning of COFEPOW .
COFEPOW has developed Research Corner, which is designed to assist in finding information easily and quickly from the contents of the website on ONE page. From a general search using the Portal Simple Search Box to specific shortcuts where more information is known.
Also now available, thousands of Liberation questionnaire images. However the Comprehensive FEPOW lists are available to MEMBERS ONLY
If you would like to help us achieve our aim to preserve and promote the
