Four-Fifty Miles to Freedom

Two officers record their imprisonment in Anatolian camps during the First World War and narrate the planning, execution, failure, and eventual success of escape attempts. The account follows long marches across rugged regional geography, intermittent recapture, encounters with guards and local inhabitants, and the logistical challenges of moving toward the coast. The text blends practical route descriptions, daily camp routines, character sketches, and reflections on endurance, and is supported by maps and illustrations that trace the sequence of events from confinement to eventual liberation.
