I put forward the following corrections: 67, 70 & 72 Descriptions look correct. However, 68, 69 & 71 are defiantly Wynberg, Cape Town. Winburg and Wynberg sounded the same to the photographer. There are no mountains like that anywhere near Winburg in the Free State. No. 71 location: Pretoria is incorrect. The Modder River and Winburg are closer to Bloemfontein which is in the Free State.

Ah Colonel, but that's a fine Ronnie!
