What travelers say:

The museum has a large collection of items related to the Boer War. There are many large paintings and when you consider that there are women and children there, one of the Boer people who was nailed to the banks of the Moder under the British attack is very moving. This, of course, led to General Cronie's surrender at the Battle of Padberg, where prisoners of war were arrested in overseas camps with a large number of handicrafts, including those made in St. Helena, Ceylon, India and Bermuda, and in camps in South Africa. The Women's Monument depicts two women, one holding a baby, and it is very memorable because the ashes of British woman Emily Hobbhouse are buried there and she did a lot to help people who suffered during the war. Recently, a long wall was added, engraved with the names of women and children who were burned to death in concentration camps during the British scorched earth policy, when farms were burned, women and children were put in concentration camps, with little fresh water or medical care was very memorable! Of course, this does not represent the "best period" of British history!
