Hello Rudd
I hope you are well.
I have managed to get the photos, i hope you recieve them in
this email.
Well the photo by the bridge, my mother is the one with her
back to the picture the lady with her i think is Tousse Van
Der Bosch, they were the host couple when my mother and
father visited Brunssum there address was
Mollukkenstraat
Nijmegen 224
The photo on the night out is of Mr and Mrs Van Der Bosch
and my mother and father.
The photos on the bench are at Mr Cardinaals bungalow, the
picture with the four people, on left, Tousse, Mr Cardinal,
My mother Rita and Hanny mr Cardinaals daughter, we are not
sure if his daughter lived at the bungalow, she spoke good
english, Mr cardinaal did not speak any english. My mother
seems to remember that mr Cardinaals bungalow was within
walking distance of the cemetery.
As me Cardinaal was a senior wer sure that he would have now
passed on, the youngest person was Hanny, although we think
she was a little older than my mother.
Well i hope you find the photos of interest, the people in
them hold a very dear place to my mother, she said there
hospitallity was imense, they all welcomed them to their
home..
I forgot to add this address, it is the
address that Hanny wrote when she wrote to my grandmother,
again wer not sure if it was the address of mr Cardinaals
bungalow. ("Bungalow" Josef Haydenstraat - First house -

Hello Rudd
Many thanks for the update, also thank you for sending
information regarding the nearest airports from the UK. We
hope to visit in August, i will let you know the dates as
soon as we book them. I am looking forward to visiting the
resting place of my great grand father. My mother can not
give you a photo of her father, as she does not have one,
ive tried hard to find a photo, but as yet my searches have
not paid off.
My mother last visited the grave in her early 20s, she and
her husband were escorted by a local family, i believe the
mans name was mr Cardinal? he had a daughter whos name i
think is Tousse, she was able to speak good english. My
mother has a photo of them at mr Cardinals bungalow in
Brunssum, i wonder if his daughter is still alive?
Well once again thanks for your help
Kind regards
Toni Fleming
