We continue our work on "Ons Meetjesland", the electronic re-edition of this magazine.  I'm so sorry for those of you who don't speak Dutch.  It would take me an extra lifetime to translate all this.  Here is the homepage of "Ons Meetjesland".
Right now if I wanted to start another translation into English it would be "Le Pantalon" by Alain Scoff.  This is the true story of a perfectly courageous French soldier Lucien Bersot, in the trenches WW I near Soissons who refuses a torn dirty pair of trousers, with mud and blood all over it.  And for this act of disobedience he is eventually executed on orders of a colonel, for whom the battlefield is a map on a wall in a comfortable chateau well out of harm's way and whose only weapons are little flags to be pinned on that map with a cigar in his face and a glass of cognac in his hand.  The colonel is promoted after the war.  Many years later Bersot is fully rehabilitated and the injustice of his death is recognized except that the colonel who was responsible for it is not sanctioned.
 

Like many many thousands of others we wanted to see what Wings and Wheels would be all about this year. We were not disappointed: a great day out ! See here for a few photographs.
 

At last we can bring you a few more pictures from inside Ertvelde's church starting here.
 

See here for a few dozen pictures of the 23/9/2006 Remembrance Ceremony for the Volunteers of 1830.
 

We now have a text (in Dutch) on the Smoefel River Farm Agricultural Museum (Smoefelbeekhoeve Agrarisch Museum) with 26 pictures.  Who knows all about old farm tools and equipment to help with the translation into English ?
 

We have been allowed to scan a couple of old pictures of St.-Margriete.  You can find them here.  And here you can now admire a picture of the teaching staff of the girls' school of St.-Laureins. It dates from about 1952.  Many thanks for these and many other documents to Edith and Monique Van Vooren.
 

We have more pictures from the great Romano Tondat Meetjesland Picture Collection: Adegem, St.-Laureins, Kaprijke and Oostwinkel.
 

We are very happy to bring you here on this website some of the pictures of the great Romano Tondat Meetjesland Picture Collection.  See here for a few of Mr. Tondat's pictures of Maldegem and of Oosteeklo.  Thank you Mr. Tondat.  We're not the only ones who adore your pictures and we want you to know that.  Let's hope many more will follow very soon.
 

Last Sunday we went back to Maldegem's Steam Center.  Here you may find a few of the  pictures we added to our previous lot of 25/9/2005.

Here you may read all about the Cauwels family from Maldegem.  No relationship has yet been found with the Noë family.  So why is it here in the midst of these Noë pages ?  It's here for want of a better place and to make it available to those who were (and will be) very happy to find it and/or to add their contributions.  And here is the same info in Dutch for those of you who find that easier going.
