The Anglo-Boer War extended far beyond the battlefield, reshaping civilian life through displacement, loss, and administrative control.
Families in and around Kaapsehoop experienced capture, property loss, and enforced movement, with lasting consequences that continued long after the war ended. The burials in this section reflect the civilian cost of conflict and the often overlooked impact of wartime policies on non-combatants.
