In the bustling city of Amsterdam, a small statue stands above the heads of passersby, honoring soldiers from the Boer War.
This unassuming statue, created in 1900, depicts a farmer with a gun, commemorating those who fought in the Second Boer War in South Africa.
The Netherlands, with its strong Dutch ties to the Boers, supported the Boer cause, and roughly 2,000 Dutch volunteers fought alongside the republics during the war.
This statue, though less grand than other monuments in Amsterdam, serves as a poignant reminder of the Dutch involvement in the Boer War.
