This is the account of those who died in the concentration camps of the Orange Free State; in appalling conditions, of deprivation and starvation. From end to end, the Orange Free State lay ruined and starving.. Because they could not capture or kill the men, Roberts and Kitchener--the Lord of Chilled Steel--made war on the wives and children, driving them without food or shelter onto the wintry veld..
