TURKISH PRISONERS SENT TO INDIA BY THE BRITISH IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR

World War One was not only limited by soldiers who lost their lives in front. Also lots of soldiers and civilians were taken prisoners and had to maintain their lives in prison camps behind the front line. By this work we want to search the fate of Turkish war prisoners in British camps in India. During the progress of the study it was seen that different organizations like Red Crescent and Red Cross as well as governments took part in problems concerning the prisoners. The study will also try to approach the governments’ attitudes and actions for the prisoners. Both archival documents and copyrighted works were used as sources for this article.
