Anti-British propaganda postcard published in Belgium during the Boer War, 1902 (c)

This postcard depicts the capture of a British armoured train by a Boer commando. Railways played an important part in the campaign and were frequently attacked by the Boers. To counter this threat, armoured trains regularly patrolled the main routes. Searchlights, powered by mobile generators, were used to light up the railway and facilitate track repairs at night.

The handwritten message reads: 'So much for the Belgian version of our position in South Africa The British can be killed but they cannot be conquered' and 'Long Live His Majesty the King'.
