On the bottom of every project, I've also cross-referenced & put 'Jump Back to' links to the Main Portal Index, as well as to the applicable overarching SubProject.

On the main POW & Concentration Camp SubProjects:
I've included cross references at the bottom of each to the list of those pertaining projects.
Feel free to copy them into the main body of the text as suits you.

--The POW sub list is according to size, as indicated in the text.

--The Concentration Camp list is just as they appeared on the Geni Search. If somebody wants to reorganise them alphabetically, don’t hold back :-)

On the SA GEni Landing site, Welkom Cuzzins - https://www.geni.com/projects/South-Africans-Geni-Landing-Site-WELK... - ,
- I’ve put a link to the Main ABW Portal page under ‘Timeline’,
- & I’ve also detailed links to all the Concentration Camps under ‘Places’

Thank you.

Give that girl a Bells :-)

Chink chink :-)

Hi. I can't seem to access the projects. I have two ancestors on opposite sides of the battle of Colenso but they did not settle here. Is this project relevant to me?

You're right - it was broken: https://www.geni.com/projects/Anglo-Boer-War-1899-1902-Portal-Index...
Have added you as a collaborator

Well done - thanks, Sharon!

:-)

Hi Sharon, My husband's great grandfather arrived aboard the 'Gaul' in 1899 as a Captain with the Northumberland Fusiliers, and ended up staying. Does he belong in here somewhere?

Hi Karolyn. This message thread was just an alert, and I all I did was sort the projects into an index. The people who will be able to answer your question are the project managers on the various ABW projects.
Go to https://www.geni.com/projects/Anglo-Boer-War-1899-1902-Portal-Index..., and start a discussion from the Portal Index page, or from the projects he seems most likely to fit into.
Good luck. I'm sure he must fit in there somewhere :-)

Thanks Sharon :)
