Red face Searching saskatchewan dragoons who were in Ypres

Hello,

I bet you don’t know me… I’m a guy from Ypres, in Belgium…

I’m a bartender in a bar in Ypres (www.kleinstadhuis.be), and there I have met some people, Thursday 12th April 2007. Those people were from the Canadian Army, and I bet they were from the Saskatchewan Dragoons. They had been to Arras, in France, en had also to walk into our Menin Gate Parade, together with HRH Prince Edward.
I saw them the Thursday, and we had a nice, informative, talk about Canada etc… They also asked about what I thought about Canadians. I said that is was getting better ;-)
Saturday I also saw them, they came to say goodbye and they also said that we normally never would meet again. What is ! That, I found quite sad. But maybe it would be nicetrue, seeing the distance to keep in touch, if some of them also should be of that thought.

You know, One thing I forgot! That was asking their name or any form of contact information… Maybe it would also be nice for them to know someone in Ypres.

Ok, about who am I talking anyway?
There were 4 people, 3 girls and 1 boy.
Two girls were wearing glasses, the boy could speak Dutch. And it was really good Dutch! The boy had studied in the Netherlands for a couple of years, that was the reason that he could talk Dutch.
Maybe I thought that you, with your friend could give me any form of information about those persons.

I hope you can help me,

Kind Regards,

some pictures I found,


the guy second from right, I think was the one who was in our bar.


The 2 women, in green and blue, beneath in the photo. I 'm almost sure, it was them who were also there.


The women on the outher right, I'm almost certain at my bar also.


Again, I had a good time with those persons, and also again Canadians are very gentle and pleasant people, to bad that I forgot to ask some coordinates (like names, mail, etc…)

I hope you can help me, it would be very lovely!

Kind Regards,

Pieter Deschuytter
