| The raid on Boshoff’s Farm ended with another farm, which contained dynamite, being burned to prevent the storage of food and armaments for the fighting Boers. This illustration of a Boer family points up the difficulties faced by the soldiers as well as the tragedy of war. Any destruction of a farm must have caused the displacement of Boer civilians.
