Elsewhere on this Forum I posted the details of a new ABO on its way to me. I have obtained the Vorm B in the meantime and would like help deciphering the battles and skirmishes Welgemoed was involved in - please see below.

Rory,

They are difficult.

My guesses:

Koppiesfontein
Dovarsbrech (?)
Springfontein, Bethulie district
Beest(e)kraal, Rouxville district
Donkerpoort, Philippolis district

for the last one, can't move away from the incorrect Rotfontein Luz

I think the last one is Holfontein, followed by enz "enzofoort", which is Dutch for 'etc'. This is common on many of my Vorm B's

Hi Rory,

As David mentions the Vorm B can be difficult to read, but to me the following would seem to be indicated:

1. Koffiefontein
2. Dwarshoek
3. Springfontein
4. Beestekraal
5. Donkerpoort (Agree with David)
6. Holfontein (agree with Jon)

Happy to be corrected..
Regards

Gavin
