Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926)Emily Hobhouse is mainly remembered for her key role in exposing the appalling conditions - and the very high death rate - in the concentration camps established by the British Army in South Africa for (some) Boer and black civilians, especially women and children, during the Second Boer War of 1899-1902. Her reports on conditions in the camps led to a public outcry in Britain.When she died in 1926 she was cremated in England and, in accordance with her will, her ashes were buried in South Africa.
Emily Hobhouse was cremated in London in 1926 and her ashes were sent to South Africa and placed in a niche in the National Women's Memorial at Bloemfontein.
