Seeking Dutch/ Flemish(Belgium) speaking people out there?

I am desperately trying to trace if possible,before it is too late(if not already) a lady who became close to my father when he was stationed in Holland and Belgium during WW2.
I am hoping to circulate all details that I have on a Dutch/Belgium website,alas,I do not speak the language.Hence my search for someone ,who may be able to underftake this for me.....please pretty please can anyone help.
My father thought a lot of this lady and I do not have a problem with the circumstances of their meeting.
I have placed pictures of on my page(joyfuldevongirl) of this pretty lady,please anyone....take a look someone may just recognise her smiley .

I have 4 Belgian people arriving to stay with me next weekend; i will show them this post, but please do remind me, i will be very busy cooking etc for 8 extra people!(I am hosting 2 Finns & 2 Danes aussi!)

I live in S.W France & there is quite a lot of interest here in the 2nd WW resistance etc, this town (Angoulême) was the last place to battle Vichy regime, there's a museum & all sorts of stuff.

They use the square behind my house as a film set when making documentaries/Tv series about 2nd WW.

May be useful. I know the feeling of trying to track down your past despite obstacles.goodluck

Hmm; as i said on the other thread; i am not "au fait" with how you do that, but have enquired about it. Meanwhile, if you wish, you could send them direct to me via email (but please not as one huge file, my beast is old & throws a fit!) & then i will show my visitors.

Please make it clear in the email subject line that it's you from h2g2, or i may delete it by mistake thinking it's spam!

cheers

It's the correct address. We don't use the @ sign on this site if giving an email address (which in itself is not a common thing, see the warning from BBC)If you gave the actual address, you would undoubtedly get spammed by half the world. The "fr" after the dot means it's a french email addy.
