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 .

Try the Dutch Club A614503

Thanks will do.Not too familiar with this site yet,my post is working it's way around the site though!

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.

Many thanks.I am most grateful for any help at all.Please ask your friends to look at pictures of my father/his mates/lady friend originally posted on the BBC WW2 site.(I assume access can still be gained to those wishing to look?)

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!

I think the ending has been left off your email address.Could you please send me a message with your email address.I will hopefully then,forward details of my father and friends in hope.
Many thanks

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.

Ooooooops see what you mean now.I am still getting the hang of the site etc (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it )

Have noted your address and will forward pics.I am most grateful for any help.I will explain more in my email.(I will send a tester 1st)
Hope you don't burn anything!

have a good week-end
Thank you again.
