[pak 40]

This weekend there is a commeration of the polish forces that liberated
Thielt and the area around it.
because of the celebration with the veterans this weekend.
The firefly is finaly put in a new coat of paint.
and the monument itself cleaned up.
This Firefly was donated by the polish gouverment ,and mostly gen Maczek
was the driven hand about this donatinon to the city of tielt

THank you Paul,

In my eyes its not so badly restored,its better then its used to be.
and what more it will not rust away like some verhicles that are used as a monument.
and atleast we preserve it then to let it rust away.

Can I copy the photos on the Polish board?

i would say "historica czesci uczenia sie""

"historia częścią uczenia się". That's correct.

[pak 40]

Oh yo can copy them, since i dont think anyone would make a problem out of that.
It would be great that the polish people have a view on a monument
in honour of theire soldiers of the black brigade
in our town.
