English: Book illustration. The State Model School in Pretoria served as a prisoner of war camp during the Second Boer War. It was here that Winston Churchill was held, and from where he escaped. Note that North is to the right. The Apies rivulet is about 500 m to the East. The entrance to the building was in Van der Walt Street (at top/West, Lilian Ngoyi today) while Skinner Street (Nana Sita today) ran along the southern side.
