On 28 February 1901 British commander Lord Kitchener met Boer commander Louis Botha at Middelburg, Transvaal. The talks failed to bring peace and Kitchener commenced the barbed wire and block house campaign to thwart attacks by Boer guerilla fighters.[2] Note the black armbands worn by all five British officers to commemorate Queen Victoria's death a month earlier. Mourning attire is said to have reached its zenith during Queen Victoria's reign in England.[3]
Date 28 February 1901 (Pre-1914)

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
