The project team would like to especially acknowledge Professor Shichi Mike Lan of National Chengchi University in Taiwan for his valuable contribution in identifying Chinese names and addresses of Taiwanese who were buried in Cowra.
The project team would also like to extend atribute to the late William Appleton, who passed away in April 2015. His guidebook to the Cowra Japanese War Cemetery, Rikai means understanding: a guide to the Japanese War Cemetery, (1998) has been an invaluable resource for this site.
