Boer war prison camp - women and children

Posted by Martin Plaut on May 3, 2016 at 11:08 in Early South African Photographs and Boer war prison camps

This camp, showing Boer women and children, draws attention to the over 20,000 women and children who died in the camps. At least as many of their black servants (who were imprisoned with them) also died, but their numbers were not as well recorded.
