Thanks to Mike Leeman from North Killingholme, who has sent numerous 550 articles that may be of interest. I'll add them to the site at a later date.

The articles below are taken from various Belgian newspapers, and were kindly scanned amd emailed by Heidi Rombouts.

If anybody could provide a translation in English, I would be very grateful.
