I could do the translation if you had the original documents in Polish:). 
French, not so much.

> I have a report on the accident to two Polish cavers in Sótano de San  
> Agustín in 1980 (see also Mike Boon's report in latest AMCS Activities  
> Newsletter) by Etienne Degrave, the Belgian doctor who attended the  
> patients and is probably responsible for the survival of the most  
> seriously injured one. This is obviously a historically important  
> document, but it is in French. Anybody interested in translating it  
> into English with the goal of publishing it in an Association for  
> Mexican Cave Studies magazine?
> 
> It looks like it's roughly six thousand words, so not a task for a  
> student who needs frequent recourse to a French/English dictionary.  
> The original was printed with a cheap dot-matrix printer, and the copy  
> I have is not wonderful, but I think everything would be legible to  
> someone knowledgeable enough in French to fill in an occasional  
> missing letter. I can scan it for you. No great rush, of course.
> 
> I'd like to cast a wide net, so feel free to forward this to other  
> relevant lists.
