Green Point Track Camp was one of several prisoner-of-war camps established by British forces in the Cape Colony during the Anglo-Boer War. The camp at Green Point, Cape Town, used the existing athletics track as its perimeter — a practical requisition of civilian infrastructure that became a holding facility almost overnight after the war's outbreak in late 1899. These camp-issued notes were a confined economy: scrip redeemable only within the wire, allowing authorities to control what prisoners could purchase and from whom.
C.W. Barnes signed as camp commandant. The series is scarce; most scrip of this type was either redeemed and destroyed or simply discarded when prisoners were transferred or released.
