A small selection of letters from the collection, written to family members by James MacDonald Troup during his army life in South Africa during the second Anglo-Boer War.

Plaque, made of slate by H. J. Coetzer, a prisoner in Bellevue Camp, Simonstown. Dated 19th May 1901 during the second Anglo-Boer War, this plaque carries a Star of David on the small circle and a coat-of-arms on the larger. The coat-of-arms is based on the design taken into use in 1857 at the third anniversary of the Oranje Vrij Staat (Orange Free State).
