CAUGHT BY THE TURKS. 



By FRANCIS YEATS-BROWN, 

 i vol. Demy Svo. IDS. 6d. net. 



This book contains a full measure of adventure and excitement. 

 The author, who is a Captain in the Indian Cavalry, was serving 

 in the Air Force in Mesopotamia in 1915, and was captured 

 through an accident to the aeroplane while engaged in a 

 hazardous and successful attempt to cut the Turkish telegraph 

 lines north and west of Baghdad, just before the Battle of 

 Ctesiphon. Then came the horrors of the journey to Constanti- 

 nople, during which the " terrible Turk " showed himself in his 

 worst colours ; but it was in Constantinople that the most thrilling 

 episodes of his captivity had their origin. The story of the 

 Author's first attempt to escape (which did not succeed) and of 

 his subsequent lucky dash for freedom, is one of intense interest, 

 and is told in a most vivid and dramatic way.
