British treatment of Boer women and children, 1900. The Boer War saw the first use of the internment of civilians in camps in wartime. The objective of the British was to hamper the Boer insurgents by removing civilians from the land, thereby restricting the fighters' food supplies. Diet and sanitary conditions in the camps were poor and some 28,000 internees died from disease and malnutrition. Taken from a German political paper. A print from Black and White Budget Vol III, WJP Monckton, London, April 28th 1900.
