YEATS-BROWN, FRANCIS CHARLES CLAYPON. Caught by the Turks. il *$2 (4c) Macmillan 940.47
20–997
In his preface to the story Owen Wister assures the reader that the tale is true. This is well for it is as strange as fiction. A young soldier in an aeroplane was captured with his pilot by the Turks near Baghdad. He is a prisoner of war for nearly three years; escapes, is recaptured and escapes again. He adopts various disguises, once as a woman, once as a Hungarian mechanic, and his adventures and experiences are altogether unusual and romantic. Life in a Turkish prison camp is likewise very different from the prison camp of the western front.
