Soldiers on both sides suffered as many thousands died. Boer women suffered in the concentration camps. Blacks, caught up in the war, suffered whether they fought or not or whether they joined the Boers or the British, incarcerated in concentration camps, shot as rebels. The country's infrastructure of railways, bridges, buildings were destroyed, Animals also suffered with hundreds of thousands of horses, sheep, and cattle destroyed by the British with their scorched earth policy. A century later its effects are still felt and divisions within the community deepened on account of this war.
