A Prisoner in Turkey

This book, like most books, consists both of facts and opinions. In order to fortify the facts, and so that it may be clearly seen that the opinions are justified, a number of extracts from the Report on the Treatment of British Prisoners of War in Turkey, which was presented to Parliament in November, 1918, are included here by the special permission of the Controller of His Majestys Stationery Office. So few people read Government publications that this course seems necessary. In this official report it is stated that out of 16,583 British and Indian prisoners Believed Captured, 3,290 are dead, and 2,222 untraced and almost certainly dead. But this report was compiled before the end of the war and is admittedly incomplete. I do not know the actual statistics, viii which must by now be available, nor do I know where to obtain them. But, as stated in the book, we in Turkey believed that about 75 per cent. of the British rank and file perished within two years of being captured. It may be that we were unduly pessimistic; it is very sincerely to be hoped that we were, and on the whole it seems probable. But I leave the figure unaltered in the text, for it was our sincere belief after very difficult and laborious enquiries made secretly. In the official report the figures show that of a total of 4,932 British believed captured, no less than 2,289 are either dead or untraced. This amounts to 46 per cent. It would be interesting to know the final figures. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
