Hagop’s mother died before the war. He lived with his father and grand mother. In the beginning of the war he was taken as a soldier in the Turkish army and disappeared.

                  Hagop was deported with his grandmother. After a few days she died. A Türk took Hagop to his house, there he stayed 2 years, he the fled to a Kurdish village, where he remained many years as a little shepherd.

                   One day an Armeniam merchant came to that village. He spoke with Hagop, and the boy was willing to go with him to Djerablous whence by our agent he was sent on to our rescue-home in Aleppo.
