To Whom it may concern:
The Battle of Groenkloof actually took place on Paardefontein at these co ordinates: 32 22'40.68"S 24 57'02.63" E ELEVATION 1315M, Which can be confirmed by Paul Murry (head of the Western Cape History Examination Board).

- Denied, but possible — The current coords point to the nearest town, not to the battlefield, but I cannot find anything online that confirms the actual site. I did find another source here, which might be reliable for the text of the article, but it does not help much with the location of the battle. A reverse geocode through Google of the suggested coordinates does show that the address for those coordinates is "Bouwershoekberge, Aberdeen Plain Rural, South Africa". Both the source linked above and this source, also potentially reliable, and this source show that the capture took place at "Bouwershoek". Though there's a lot that's indicative here, I just don't think there's quite enough to document the change. — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 21:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
