Britse kamp (British camp) in De Aar, Northern Cape, was a military encampment established during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). De Aar was a strategic railway junction on the Cape Town–Kimberley line, making it a key logistical hub for British forces. The camp housed troops, supplies, and possibly horses, serving as a base for operations against Boer commandos in the region. The site is associated with the broader British military occupation of the town, which began in early 1900 after the British captured the area to secure the railway.
