Bookwise; it depends on the language(s) you speak. If you speak French then there are loads, although there are quite a few in dutch and some in english...

- Goodnight Irene (Vers. Nl)
- Belgians Can Do Too! (Vers. Nl)
- Un Saison en Corée de Kamina a Imjin (Vers. Fr & Nl.) The best one in my opinion..
- Béréts Bruns en Corée (1950-53) By Général A. Crahay (series Vécu par des Belges) I only know of Vers. Fr. (definately the cheapest)
- Chronique du Bataillon Belge Corée 1950-55, Hugo Peerlinck, ed. Flyingpencil (Fr,Nl?) env. 34 euros
- Belgians Can Do Too! (Catalogue of Expo at Museum of the Army and Military History) (Fr, Nl, En) 25 euros available only from Brussels' army museum but I'm sure it can be bought over the internet....

You don't happen to know anyone in Diekirch museum do you? They don't even reply to my emails

Ho hum...
I am trying to build up a relationship in order to get some pics 'inside'
the displays. The only problem is its a real pain getting up there. I will be taking my son up there soon - after going through the Lux system he speaks all the 'local' languages - which will help. I'll update you when I have something definite.
Thanks for the info and all the best, david
