His father died before the war. He was exiled with his mother and relatives. The caravan was forced to wander on foot, his mother could not go further. She became ill. Mardiros was obliged to leave his mother on the road and follow the wandering caravan.

                  Once an Arab dragged him to his tent, he remained there 11 years as a servant.

                  In an environing village some Armenians were dwelling, they helped him to flee. He is now in our rescue-home in Aleppo.
