Anglo Boer War: P.O.W. Oath of Allegiance St Helena: Antonie Muller, Potchefstroom Commando

According to The South African Military History Society:-

“As time passed (on St Helena), many Boer prisoners gave their names to the British commandant, indicating that they were in favor of peace. This caused such bitterness amongst those loyal to the Boer cause that the authorities were compelled to form another camp, called Peace Camp or No 2. Later, General Cronjé himself took the oath of allegiance. His guard remained with him at his request, as many of the prisoners were resentful towards him. He finally left St Helena for the Cape on 22 August 1902 with 994 other prisoners in the transport Tagus”.
