Published on 10 April 1915
The author is shown at the beginning of the video narration in Spring 1915, shortly before the "Battle of the Marne in Iraq," which he describes here. Like all German officers in the Turkish service, he is wearing Turkish uniform — that of a cavalry lieutenant with the insignia of a General's A.D C.
Many details of the dramatic event he relates here were hitherto practically unknown.
