South Africa - Boer War 1900 covers to Green Point Prisoner of War camp (thus addressed "Groenepunt"), one with "BLOEMFONTEIN O.V.S. JU2200" cds tying 1d on 1d VRI ovpt, the other with squared circle "BEAUFORT WEST C.G.H. JY1400" tying 1d carmine (SG 59a). Both have double circled "CENSOR/PRISONERS OF WAR" cachets. Minor soiling but hardly surprising given the circumstances of their delivery. (2)
