The Greek volunteers during the Second Boer War in South Africa, in 1900


In 1899, the Second War between the British Empire and the two Boer states in South Africa: Republic of Transvaal and the Orange Free State started. The British war effort was supported by volunteers from the British Empire and people from other countries. In 1900, twenty Greeks from Odessa in Russia joined this war as volunteers and fought against the Boers. However, there were a few Greeks who fought against the British.
