Garabed's father had been called up as a soldier in the Turkish army. Garabed with his mother and two brothers was exiled to Khabur. There the Arabs attacked them and distributed the spoil among themselves. The poor boy was a share of booty to an Arab, with whom he lived eleven years until he had got time to flee away. One day he escaped and reached Hassitshe from where by our agent he was sent per auto to us.

Left our care: August 30, 1926. Relatives. Uncle in Baghdad.
