==Boer POW Camp==
"Nothing remains of a prisoner-of-war camp on a high plateau where 6000 Afrikaners were held during the Boer War, but the graves of 156 who never saw their homeland again are carefully tended on a steep hillside. Two granite obelisks bearing their names stand as a memorial to farmers who fought bravely against what was then the mightiest army in the world".<ref>Article "Island of no return: St Helena, Napoleon’s final place of exile, is a refuge of unexpected diversity" by Gavin Bell ''Weekend Australian 14 July 2012'' Travel and Indulgence section, page 1</ref> Also see [[POW Camps in India]]
