Posted Jan 21, 2007 by joyfuldevongirl   Posting 1 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 .

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. zdt Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Seeking Dutch/Flemish people.....

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. zendevil3ATwanadooDOTfr 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! zdt Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Seeking Dutch/Flemish people.....

Many thanks Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Seeking Dutch/Flemish people..... Posted Jan 23, 2007 by zendevil This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 8 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. zdt Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Seeking Dutch/Flemish people.....
