SAS memorial plaque

We were in Ghent castle earlier this week and saw this memorium on entry, when I made further enquiries at the ticket office I was told the name of the individual but did not note it down, so I don't remember the name, also the brass plaque commemorating this individual was unfortunately recently stolen. The photo quality is not that good as I was standing on tip toes and also supported by Belgian beer!

The memorial plaque was to commemorate Colonel Edouard (Eddy) Blondeel

As Kevin mentions, the plaque was stolen very recently - 3 September 2011.

Have you got anything you'd like to tell us Kevin?

Many thanks for the down-loads.
I think it's very sad when such memorials are stolen, they can't be sold nor exhibited in public as the would suerly be recognised as stolen items.
Most likely it's sat in someones drawer never to be see nor shared again.
As for Ghent, in the sunny weather of last week well worth the drive from Poperinge and the mayhem of the autoroute (one beer only) navigator; mouth and eyes shut for almost half an hour.

Cheers
Kevin
