    I think the following link will be able to assist you. Dutch seems to be o.k. English possibly too.

    Good luck.

    Additional information.
    just had a chat with a Kleve tour guide Mrs. van den Boom Tel +49 151 12491148.
    She seems to be a real specialist doing tours for Dutch and Allied groups pretty frequently. Old pics are best obtained from the Kleve Archives Bert Thiessen Tel +49 281 84700. Stefan.

    I just got an E-mail from the Goch Archives. They don't have much about Kessel but they have this very interesting document. It's in german so I hope you don't mind.

    Thanks a lot, very interesting details with names etc., but also unfriendly actions by their Dutch neighbors.

    Stolpi, can you translate direly to Dutch and English?

    Probably triggered by the 'friendly' actions of their eastern neighbours? :unsure:
