Improved to Good Article status by Harrias (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 19:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Bronkhorstspruit; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Recent GA, well written, comprehensive, and well referenced (AGF on offline sources). Referencing spotcheck on some online sources shows no copyvio issues. QPQ done. Hooks are interesting, but personally prefer ALT1. Good to go. Constantine ✍ 08:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
