One of the first camps found the British and Canadian armies was Breendonck near Antwerp in Belgium. It was, strictly speaking, a transit camp and 'intensive interrogation centre' (where members of the Belgian resistance were tortured) but was also used as a concentration camp. It was liberated early in September 1944.
The biggest camp that the British liberated was Bergen-Belsen, near Hanover, liberated in April 1945.
The American, British, and Russian soldiers liberated the concentration camps during 1943-1945.
More than 28000 Afrikaner women and children died in the concentration camps
The Allies (including Britain) stopped the Nazi concentration camps and the Holocaust by invading and defeating Nazi Germany.
There were concentration camps in the Holocaust. The concentration camps were basically work/death camps.
Most of the inmates of the British concentration camps for Boers in the Boer War (1899-1902) were Afrikaner women and children. About 26,000 of the 127,000 imprisoned perished. It is a shameful chapter in British history.

Concentration camps were first used by the British, yes, the British, against the Boer population of South Africa at the end of the 19th century. I think Dachau, near Munich, Germany dates from 1934.

No, British soldiers taken prisoners by the Gerrmans were sent to prisoner of war (POW) camps, where conditions were much better. A very small number of British prisoners - for example, some of those who kept on trying to escape - were sent to concentration camps. There were also a very small number who were sent to concentration camps by mistake.
