Boer Prisoners Return to South Africa

The first consignment of Boer prisoners returning to their homes in South Africa, numbering 478 men, sailed from the island of St. Helena on June 26. After taking the oath of allegiance to Great Britain, the prisoners marched to the boats singing the British national anthem. On the following day 1,500 Canadian troops sailed for their homes from Durban, Natal.
