Boer War photographic postcards

Are there many photographic postcards featuring the Boer War of 1899-1902? Not that I want to buy any, but I just need a couple of sentences for an article I'm writing about early postcards. I've just looked at eBay, and there's only one on offer.
(A while ago, a dealer was offering a card he thought he showed Boer prisoners at Tidworth in Wiltshire c1905. In fact they weren't Boers, but British soldiers who'd been "captured" in an exercise on Salisbury Plain.)
