Does anyone know if there will be a Remembrance Service at the Jakarta War Cemetery on Tuesday 15th August 2017, in commemoration of Victory Japan Day; which is also the Far East Prisoner of War Association Remembrance Day?

If so, where do I find/ do you have the timing details?

Many thanks

For remembrance service you could contact people through the links above or contact the Dutch Embassy in Jakarta over the UK one.

Thanks - much appreciated.

None of these websites had posted any information about a Service - but given that a number of those buried in the cemetery, had died in captivity (my great uncle included), I was just wondering if there was a local British Chaplain (or other) who held a service there on VJ Day each year?

If anyone has any local knowledge, I would be really grateful.
