Camps
Approximately 5,866 POW were held in the following camps:
- Deadwood No.1 The Camp Commandant was Major S.H. Marden. The prisoners were housed mainly in canvas tents, and huts which they later built themselves from biscuit tins.
- Deadwood No.2 or Peace Camp Set up for prisoners who wanted to return to South Africa and fight for the British.
- Broad Bottom Established early 1901 after quarrels between Free Staters and Transvaalers. The Camp Commandant was Lieutenant Colonel H.O.P. Wright.
- High Knoll Fort Recalcitrant or insubordinate prisoners were briefly incarcerated at the Fort
- Jamestown Some POWs were given permission to work as household servants cooks and grooms, and were allowed to live in the homes. For those not provided for, a two-section camp was built in the Government Gardens and the Botanical Gardens for accommodation at night. The Officer in Charge was Captain Fisher.
Shipping
The prisoners arrived on St. Helena as follows-
- Milwaukee 514 14th April, 1900 (inc. General Cronje and his wife and staff) General and Mrs Cronje were accommodated at Kent Cottage, some distance from Deadwood from where he used to ride to visit his men.

The prisoners were immediately sent on to Deadwood the prison camp. Most of the Boers at Deadwood are in good health, and thus far there has been but one death from enteric fever.

The following ships conveyed the prisoners back to South Africa -
- Canada 370 (Peace Camp) and 110 others, 26th June, 1902

Escape
Several people tried to escape:
- 3 tried to escape before landing
- 5 tried to get away from Sandy Bay in an old fishing boat
- 2 tried to swim to a Russian Barque in the harbour
- 2 escaped in a small boat with no provisions, but were sighted and recaptured
- 1 who escaped in a box put on board ship but he was returned from Ascension
Considering the isolation of St Helena, surrounded by thousands of square miles of ocean, escape was virtually impossible. Yet, on 2 February 1901, Lieut. Sarel Eloff, grandson of president Kruger, who while do parole met 2 or 3 other prisoners – a Smith and Johnson, and made a determined attempt at Sandy Bay. Having collected a quantity of provisions, the four men seized (or bought a fishing boat for 25 pounds) an old fishing boat in which to make their escape. However, fishermen removed the oars and, despite a struggle, managed to hold on to them. The prisoners climbed into the boat and tore up the bottom boards, intending to use them as paddles. Finding them to be useless, the prisoners then returned to the beach and tried in vain to bribe the fishermen, offering them a good sum in exchange for the boat and oars. In the meantime, a messenger had been sent to report the occurrence and soon after dawn a guard arrived from Deadwood Camp to arrest the escapees.
The best known attempt was Colonel Schiel who had previously commanded the Republican artillery in Natal, and was taken prisoner at Elandslaagte. For trying to escape by a Dutch ship which touched at Jamestown, he was locked up to High Knoll Fort.
Another escape was attempted by two French prisoners. Whilst bathing off the beach at Rupert's Bay, they tried to swim to a ship at anchor. Spotted by the guardship, guns were directed against them and they were challenged, whereupon one turned and swam back to Rupert's Bay, whilst the other swam to the landing steps at Jamestown, only to be escorted back to camp. A notable attempt was that of Jansen, Who swam to a British warship 'Beagle', hid in the hold, and was only discovered on the following day.
The most enterprising attempt to escape was by made by Andries Smorenburg who made a crate and "mailed" himself from Saint Helena on the Union Castle Mail Ship SS Goth. In the event he was discovered when the ship was out at sea, landed at Ascension, handed over to the authorities and returned to St. Helena.
Finally, an Italian by name Beldaracki made good his escape. He met some Spaniards who visited Napoleon's tomb, swam to their boat at anchor in the harbour made good his escape and afterwards wrote from Barcelona to some prisoners at Deadwood Camp

The Ones who stayed
5 prisoners chose to remain on island and raise families, their descendants still live on island. The names Smith, Piek, Vanguard and Nielson come from Boer prisoners.
Although they were prisoners, those who were not rebellious were eventually reasonably free to move around on set days, and some were allowed to live near their employment. One even married here while he was a prisoner.
- Isak Erikson, stayed on St Helena after the war, carpenter
- Hendrik James Piek of Villafort Ladybrand. Harry Piek stayed or more likely returned to St Helena as he is listed as leaving on the ship 'Oratava'
- Pieter Hans Christiaan Nielson
- Alfred Smith Brother of Charles
- Charles Smith St. Helena’s last surviving Boer War prisoner. Liking his insular prison, had elected to stay there forever. He married and for many years ran a bakery.
- John Vanguard
Died in St Helena
The death rate of approximately 3%, is proof that the conditions under which the prisoners lived on the island were of a high order.

Died and Buried at Sea
Those who died on sea on the way to St. Helena were buried at sea.
How to Participate
If you have an ancestor who was in the ABW as POW on ST HELENA:
- Get yourself added as a collaborator
- Navigate to your ancestor's profile
- Under the "More Actions" link choose "Add to Project"
- Select the "POW ST HELENA" project
How to add a link is explained in the attached document - Adding links to Geni profiles to projects.
Optional:
- Include in the "About Me" section of each person a brief biographical sketch of their lives. Also include their Settler party and ship name and arrival date if known
- Include a photograph/painting of your ancestor if one exists.
- Your ancestor's profiles should be marked as "public" and not "private".
- All included profiles should include full identifying information including birth and death dates as well as birth and death locations. It would also be very helpful if the immediate family of your pioneer ancestor, (their parents, siblings and children) profiles were public profiles also.
- Do not make public any profiles of living people. NOTE: All POWs included on this project will have their profiles editable by other geni.com collaborators of this project. The object of reproducing the list here is to see if these people can be located on Geni and perhaps develop trees from them. To take part in any project - you do need to first be a collaborator - so join the project. See the discussion Project Help: How to add Text to a Project - Starter Kit to get you going!
