Caveat regarding coordinate location[edit]
Please note that the coordinate location of 32°49'40"N, 73°38'20"E is only a best-guess that I added today to the English Wikipage plus to the Wikidata item, based on the following points:
- The English Wikipedia page states that "the most plausible location is just south of the city of Jhelum"
- The file "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Battle_hydaspes_crossing.png" [The Department of History, United States Military Academy] indicates that the action took place near a northern/north-western tributary of the river.
Of course, feel free to remove it or correct it based on better or additional sources. Fred Johansen (talk) 16:07, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
