The approximately 27,000 Boer prisoners and exiles
in the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) were distributed far and wide
throughout the world. They can be divided into three categories: prisoners of
war, ‘undesirables’ and internees. Prisoners of war consisted exclusively of
burghers captured while under arms. ‘Undesirables’ were men and women of the
Cape Colony who sympathised with the Orange Free State and Transvaal Republics
at war with Britain and who were therefore considered undesirable by the
British. The internees were burghers and their families who had withdrawn
across the frontier to Lourenço Marques at Komatipoort before the advancing
British forces and had finally arrived in Portugal, where they were interned. (
