War Footage from 1899 (The Boer War)

Boer War Footage (1899). This montage is from the second Anglo-Boer War which was fought between the British Empire and the Afrikaans-speaking Dutch settlers of two independent Boer republics, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. It ended with the conversion of the Boer republics into British colonies.

There is not much footage of the battle itself but this is still rare footage.

Funny how the 19th century British don't get as much hate as the 1940's era Germans.

British Empire!!! The fuckin cowardly bastards!!!, Having to resort to kidnapping women and children and concentration camps to beat a tough pioneer people of fewer than half a million. Puts a great shame on our proud nation.

I do miss the concentration camps they put our women and children to starve in, and the farms they had to burn to fight a few settlers to get their gold fields.
