Summary

Description
Nederlands: Winston Churchill te paard na zijn ontsnapping uit een Boerengevangenis, 1899.
English: Winston Churchill on horseback after his escape from a Boer War prison, 1899. Comment in source: "The back of the photo reads 'Winston Churchill after escape'. The photo has been put up for sale by the descendants of Arthur Knight, a trained photographer who was the son of pioneer diamond miner William Knight. He was part of a scouting expedition on an armoured train when it was attacked by the enemy. Churchill's heroics during the ambush led to speculation that he would receive the Victoria Cross, although this never happened."
Afrikaans: Winston Churchill te perd na sy ontsnapping uit 'n Boere-gevangenis, 1899.
