Did You Know?
The Britse kamp (British camp) at Doornbult Erfenisterrein near Hopetown in the Northern Cape was a military encampment established during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). This site is part of the larger Doornbult heritage area, which includes a Boer concentration camp cemetery and other war-related features. The British camp was likely used to house troops or serve as a logistical base during the conflict, given Hopetown's strategic location along the Orange River and its proximity to key railway lines. The camp's exact role and duration of use are not extensively documented, but it forms part of the broader historical landscape of the war in the Northern Cape.
