Summary[edit]

Description
Afrikaans: Boere-krygsgevangenes by die sondagdiens in Diyatalawa-kamp op Ceylon, hoofsaaklik van die Brandwaterkom, Oranje-Vrijstaat, onder genl Prinsloo afkomstig. Di. Petrus Postma (met bybel, en aldaar bekend as "the fighting parson") van Pretoria en Paul Hendrik Roux van Senekal staan sy aan sy heel regs. Eerwaarde Roux van Bethlehem en di. George Murray van Oudtshoorn, Dirk Jacobus Minnaar van Heilbron en George Thom van Frankfort sou ook in die kamp onder dieselde omstandighede as ander gevangenes bly. Op 12 Januarie 1901 het sowat 630 krygsgevangenes met die Catalonia uit Kaapstad gearriveer, benewens die sowat 5 000 wat reeds daar was. Marthinus Prinsloo se oorgawe in die Brandwaterkom was 'n vername terugslag vir die Boeresaak in die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog. Die foto word vertoon by Fort Schanskop, Pretoria.
English: Boer prisoners of war at the Sunday service in Diyatalawa camp on Ceylon, who were mostly taken captive at the Brandwater basin, Orange Free State, under general Prinsloo. Prinsloo's surrender was a major setback for the Boer cause during the war. Reverends Petrus Postma from Pretoria and Paul Hendrik Roux from Senekal stand side by side at right. All were guarded by the King's Royal Rifles under Colonel Gore-Brown. The photo is on display at Fort Schanskop, Pretoria.
