An open offer to assist

**Danmark** · 12-09-2012, 11:18 AM

Hello all,

A couple of fellow members have done me great services recently - from assisting with shipping an item to locating and photographing for me a family connection from far afield. I know that the tyranny of distance can be a problem in our research so to return the favour I want to extend an open offer if anyone needs information on a place or item here in Sydney ( or the surrounding areas )
I know Sydney wasn't the hub of ww2 activity but maybe ( like me ) someone would like to know what is inscribed on something half a world away or something obscure like that. There may be nothing needed but it doesn't hurt to ask.

PM me if you need help and I'll see what I can do ......."hands across the ocean"
Cheers, Dan

Hi Dan,

Can you send me some sunshine mate, as it's bloody grim over here at the moment.

That would be a great idea to work out in both (all!) sences!
I have propossed on several occassions to help aussies with theyre purchases here on the continent, by having a central point of collection and then have them send in one parcel to Australia. That parcel might content items for different members in Australia, so we need some one over there for distribution in Australia.
It can also be to have a picture made of a building, a place or a grave one's intrest goes to.
Any more ideas and sujestions are welcome.
Maybe also a pinned thread or sub-forum to work thise out.
I am speaking of Australia , but it also could work for any country on the planet.
Parcels (in Belgium!)from or to the UK can also be expensive!
cheers

Cheers

Wish I could Jerry, temps here have been in the 30's lately ( but with that comes the bushfires - 60 throughout NSW last week )
Just finished watching a doco on the capture of Eichmann .....

I appreciated your offer Kris, haven't forgotten and will keep it in mind ( I thought I would be clever and save some money by shipping a gasmask and canister via surface mail from the UK ..... that was back in September and it is still on it's way!!! )
Cheers, Dan

It was actually sunny here yesterday and the wife and I went for a few hours walk along the coast at Aberaeron, very nice, a little cold perhaps, but warm enough in the sunshine.
