Hi Hans...Good effort...without your determination this wouldn't be happening. How do you stand for funding at the moment?
I think the militaria fair that Rob mentioned is on the 5th. so what about the 4th. for placing the 'brick'? Is the morning of the 6th. out of the question?
Finally do we have a date/time for placing the other plaque and what is the situation with the 'locals'?....Ian

Funding: I think for the brick it's OK, have to wait for the results of the conversion rates between GBPounds, US$, Cdn$ and Euro...
I think that for the plaque I'll have to make a supplementary round with the hat (the thing will cost about E 150) but wait until I know more.
Military fair: the 4th could be an alternative; the 6th is on a monday, when some people will again be on their way home.
Plaque: of course the locals have not replied
, so we'll go there with tools and install it; perhaps we can ask the local priest to attend and say a few words

Hi Hans...thanks for the update. I'm not surprised you havn't had a reply from the 'locals'...the French aren't renowned for their sense of urgency..It looks like the 4th for the 'brick'then....Put me down for another 10 Euros if you need it...just let me know when...Ian

Well done Hans. Likewise let me know if you need more funds. Sat 4th sounds good to me. We can decide about putting the plaque in the shrine at the time.
Can I suggest that whilst some of us are installing the plaque some of the rest (French speaking) could go on a hunt for the priest.
