The Treatment of Boer Prisoners at St Helena
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful photograph that captures the harsh reality faced by Boer prisoners during the Second Boer War. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image offers a glimpse into the conditions within the prison camps on St Helena. The photo showcases rows of makeshift huts, known as boer quarters, where these prisoners were confined. The dilapidated structures stand as a testament to their dire circumstances and limited resources. It is evident that these men endured immense hardships while being held captive on this remote island. This haunting image serves as a stark reminder of the brutality inflicted upon those involved in war. The faces of some prisoners can be seen peering out from behind barbed wire fences, their expressions reflecting both resignation and defiance. "The Treatment of Boer Prisoners at St Helena" was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 6th, 1900. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication aimed to shed light on the plight of these captives and raise awareness about their mistreatment. Today, this photograph continues to evoke strong emotions and prompts us to reflect upon our shared history. It stands as a poignant reminder that even amidst conflict, compassion and humanity should prevail over cruelty and suffering.
