Well you seem to be the closest Ian ... I would love to hear more definition on this as I showed it to Steve Hayes at the Archives and neither of us had ever seen it before ... The statement in the file was of a woman who was "formerly from Britten Station (now Klerksdorp)" ...... Thanks for all the input ... I just thought it was very curious!

This would mean Klerksdorp is 0,0km and Britten is 170,266km further on. Bloemhof is at 142,844km and Christiana at 196.031km.
