Abstract
This chapter first briefly surveys the Ottoman entry and experience of the Great War, especially noting the problems encountered during the war by the military authorities and the lack of even relative certainty relating to the casualties and ethnic make-up of the Ottoman army. Secondly, it comparatively examines the daily experiences of Ottoman prisoners of war in Russia and those held by the British in Egypt. This section examines capture, transport, camp life, food, cultural activity in camps and resistance against the captor. There were significant differences in the way the captors treated the prisoners and the physical environment in which the prisoners had to survive. It is argued that both the war against and captivity in Russia were more trying and precarious in terms of basic survival. This comparison provides the partial basis of the next chapter’s argument.
