TECC paid respects to the 680 war heroes of the ROC at the in Ramgarh Cemetery on 23 of April 2018.
During the World War II, Japanese forces invaded southward to countries on Indo-China peninsula, the Republic of China (ROC) government in answering the request from allies, including the UK, sent the Chinese Expeditionary Forces (CEF) of 100,000 soldiers in 1942 to Burma and fought together with allied forces. The CEF rescued the British troops besieged by Japanese forces in Yenangyaung, but was later baffled in action and forced to retrograde to India, where it regrouped and reconsolidated. The CEF later initiated counterattack in northern Burman and secured Ledo(Sino-India) Road. The action brought fame to the CEF both in the region and around the world thereafter. Nevertheless, the CEF experienced great casualties previously during the retreat and reconsolidate and had to bury the fallen soldiers along its maneuver as a result. After the war ended, in an effort to bring together those sacrificed, the ROC government established the Cemetery of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces in Ramgarh of Province Bihar, India in 1943 with the agreement from the then British government. A special task force from the Ministry of National Defense, ROC came to the cemetery in August, 1995 and held a memorial service in mourning for the fallen heroes. Later in 2000, a memorial tablet for the sacrificed Chinese Expeditionary Forces to India was erected in the Martyrs Shrine, ROC(Taiwan) along with others fallen in wars for people to pay respect to.
ROC government granted funds twice in the year of 1982 and 2011 to renovate Ramgarh Cemetery. TECC and officials from Taiwan visited the cemetery every year during spring and autumn to pay tribute to the fallen heroes.
