The story of the amazing experiences of a young Scottish Lieutenant and a brother officer while prisoners of war in the hands of the Turks provides one of the most remarkable human documents of the whole of the world campaign. It tells how they won their way to freedom by feigning madness under the critical scrutiny of leading Turkish alienists for a period of seven months. The two officers are Liet. E.H. Jones and Lieut. C.W. Hill. The narrative is almost beyond the flight of imagination.
