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.
