A Darrels Bermuda box cedar carving made by prisoners of war interned on the island during the Anglo-Boer War [18991902] A total of 26,000 Boer fighters were transported to such remote British territories as Bermuda, Ceylon and St. Helena during the war.

Six groups of prisoners of war were landed in Bermuda between June, 1901 and January, 1902. The majority of them were held in camps in the Great Sound on Darrells Island, Morgans Island, Tuckers Island, Burts Island and Ports Island. Each camp boasted an industrial association which assigned maintenance duties but also encouraged the prisoners to participate in cedar crafts. This activity kept the men busy and because the cedar items they made were sold to visitors at Hamilton stores, it also allowed the Boers to earn some money during their internment.

Their greatest legacy [to Bermuda] was the souvenirs they made, the bulk of which had been carved out of Bermuda cedar wood, the Bermuda Historical Societys Andrew Bermingham has said of the Boer prisoners.
