Die sitasie soos dit gegee is
The album carries a narrative account of the skirmish of 2 February 1901, which eGGSA in turn attribute to a thread on saforums.co.za (topic 8254.5). SO IT IS A SECOND-HAND ACCOUNT AND SHOULD BE READ AS ONE - it is not a despatch, a court record or a regimental diary, and no primary source for it has been seen here. It is recorded because it is specific, because it names people and ground, and because its geography is independently checkable against this project's own coordinates - which it passes. IT ALSO CONTRADICTS ITSELF AGAINST THE STONE: the account says Klue and Boyd were both buried in Wolwekloof, yet the grave photographed is on Remhoogte 167. [TO VERIFY]
Woordeliks gehou. Hierdie projek weerspreek gepubliseerde genealogieë en stel 'n familie se eie mondelinge oorlewering reg, so elke bewering moet nagegaan kan word deur iemand wat nie in die vertrek was nie.
