RE: The realities of war : A South African perspective.
Wow - What a powerful and rich history your family has. My grandmother use to tell me such wonderful stories when I was a little girl and I always said I am going to write it down and never did and now I am so sorry that I did not do it because I cannot remember all the detail. Resteeming
I feel the same way you do. If only I could remember all the details. Luckily I have a good collection of letters. I can read German if the writing is clear but some of the letters are written in the old gothic script (sutterlin) and that takes me ages to decipher. Thanks for your support it is really appreciated.
Let me know if you need a translation, I am a translator from German to English.
Will do. I have a diary written by my great grandfather when he was a medical student. He went on a trip through Europe. I think its dates from 1842. The writing is miniscule and is in old German script.
Please send it to me I will translate it for you.
Sorry for taking so long to respond. I have been away all day. Should I send through this medium? Thanks so much for the offer, I really appreciate it.
No problem. You can send it here or just e-mail it to me at [email protected] can't wait to check it out. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
