HI mic

I speak reasonable if a bit rustic french ,though I haven't really used it in years. My ability to translate and read and wright french is limited but I can get the gist.

1968,

Could you be kind as to explain why you fancied this particular grave translated? do you have some tomb in other language there? Cheers, Mic
