:39:00
What happened then, father?
:39:08
That damned cough. l can't
get rid of it.
:39:13
Where was l?
-You had got to Mesopotamia, Baghdad.
:39:19
Yeah. We came to that plain...
:39:21
and crossed that
long, desert-like plain...
:39:25
and reached Kutulenmare...
:39:28
near Baghdad.
We were there.
:39:32
We suddenly encountered
the British.
:39:37
We defeated them even though
we were hungry and thirsty.
:39:43
And do you know what
happened next?
:39:46
The English commander committed suicide.
-He couldn't bear the defeat.
:39:52
But when their reinforcements
arrived, they beat us.
:39:56
We could have won if
we hadn't been starved.
:40:03
Then we were taken prisoner.
:40:07
They put us
on a ship to lndia.
:40:12
From Bombay we were taken
by train to Semerpor.
:40:16
We worked there as building
labourers.
:40:19
l was so weak that..
:40:22
l couldn't even carry
two bricks on my back.
:40:25
Even that was too much.
:40:28
The English guard kept shouting:
''Come on Joe, come on Joe.''
:40:34
Actually, if we could feed
ourselves properly we would...
:40:37
wipe out the English.
But we had no strength.
:40:44
Most of us died of
starvation or disease.
:40:57
-Those damned jackals are
down by the stream again.
