EAST LONDON
- This was a relitavely small camp with only 44 prisoners of whom 10 died in camp.
- It opened on 24/08/1902 and already closed on 29/8/1902/
- Notes:29/8/1902: Tonkins, East London to CSRC: Camp is practically closed. Tomorrow he hands over horses to the Remounts. By Monday he hopes to have all goods cleared. The things he sent to the market are fetching good prices. Will send a detailed account of buildings and fittings in a few days. Is arranging for a caretaker. Will bring all records with him when he returns to Bloemfontein as soon as he has settled things. http://www2.lib.uct.ac.za/mss/bccd/Camp/47/East_London_RC/
The object of reproducing the list here is to see if these people can be located on Geni and perhaps develop trees from them.

At least 15 000 Blacks were used as combatants by the British, especially as scouts to track down Boer commandoes and armed block house guards, but also in non-combatant roles by both British and Boer forces as wagon drivers, etc. They suffered severely as result of the British "scorched earth policy" during which those who lived on White farms were removed to concentration camps, as were the women and children of their White employers
