    temptage I thought it would only take a few weeks......

    Does anybody know of any Dutch/Netherlands/Holland War Forums? I used to have a link to one on my old PC but I cant find it again. I have recently joined a French War Forum where you can contact individuals to see if they are willing to help get photos for me. Only been on it 4 days and have already got help, or the the promise of help for 9 Cemeteries. I am hoping I may be able to do the same with the Dutch too.

    British and Dutch POW's perished aboard the ss Hofuku Maru on 21st September 1944 and the Dutch website I found useful had the details I give below. Whilst it is not a forum it does have a contact page with an English translation so you may find a forum through them. I have not contacted the site myself.

    Search for this phrase in Google or "Google Dutch":

    Hofuku Maru - Wereldoorlog 2


    . Gezocht nabestaanden van Nederlandse krijgsgevangenen overleden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Zuidoost-Aziƫ.
    . Voor het samenstellen van fotogedenkboeken voor ons en onze nakomelingen, opdat zij in herinnering blijven.
    . De fotoboeken zullen te zijner tijd worden aangeboden aan het Militair Museum Bronbeek, te Arnhem.


    Translation: . We are looking for relatives or friends of Dutch POW's who died during World War 2 in detention in Southeast-Asia.
    . We are composing a picture gallery of these persons, to keep their memories alive for ourselves and the following generations.
    . The album with photographs will eventually be offered to the Military Museum Bronbeek in Arnhem.

    Do not forget one of the largest Dutch ww2 forums: http://www.stiwotforum.nl/ it also contains a small English language part.
    Unfortunately today it is offline for some technical issues.

    Does anyone know or have heard of Anthony Jona ( or Jonah) a Dutch Airforce serviceman based at RAF Pembroke Dock in Wales in 1940.
    Just in case he is on any official list. He might well have eventually been based in RAF Carew Cheriton also in Wales.
    Leuchars was according to a website A base where some Dutch Personnel moved from Wales to Leuchars Sometime in 1941
