Birth and death years of General van Strydonck de Burkel[edit]

I noted on the internet that the years listed for his life varied. In order to resolve the conflicting information, I contacted the Belgian Museum of the Army in Brussels. The cordial email I received on 24 June 2009 follows:

>Dear Sir

>I can confirm the dates

>1876- >8-1-1961

>Staying at your Service

>I remain

>Dr Pierre Lierneux
>Expertise documentaire
>Dept III
>Museum of the ARmy and the military History
>Jubilee Parc 3
>1000 Brussels

Therefore, I have changed the birth year listed in the article to 1876. Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 18:32, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
