- "In this movement we took with us three thousand Turkish soldiers who
- had been captured by the Russians and left on our hands when the Russians
- abandoned the struggle. During our retreat to Karaklis two thousand of
- these poor devils were cruelly put to death. I was sickened by the
- brutality displayed, but could not make any effective protest. Some,
- mercifully, were shot. Many of them were burned to death. The method
- employed was to put a quantity of straw into a hut, and then after
- crowding the hut with Turks, set fire to the straw."
