One image shows the captured Boer general Cronje with his staff/entourage (including Mrs Cronje) and their escort of British guards. Other photographs are smaller and most likely were taken by Cyril himself and show life of an officer and contrast the prisoners on the island. The album has been rebound at some point. Also with the grouping is a superb Boer prisoner made desk tidy which has pen rests and tiny little drawers which open and were presumably intended for pen nibs or other small accessories.
