We cannot identify the group that set up the memorial at St Martins. But we did find an academic paper titled: For ‘ALL Who were Captured’? The Evolution of National Ex-prisoner of War Associations in Britain after the Second World War, by Clare Makepeace, dated 2014. The abstract includes: "This literature shows how an early attempt to create one POW association for all who were captured failed. Associations subsequently founded for Far East ex-POWs successfully created an inclusive ‘fictive kinship group’ and their activities challenge recently established discourses that these prisoners were a ‘forgotten army’."
