This title refers to a historic piece of memorabilia – a photograph from the Boer War featuring Dutch prisoners of war (POW) in Bermuda. The Boer War, fought between the British Empire and two Boer states over the Empire’s influence in South Africa, lasted from 1899 to 1902. Many Boer prisoners were exiled to remote locations like Bermuda. The photograph provides an intimate glimpse into the conditions and lives of these POWs, capturing the human side of this brutal conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of the war’s global reach, the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the shared history between Bermuda and South Africa.
