            His father was taken as a soldier in the Turkish army and disappeared. George was exiled with his mother and a little sister, who succumbed on the road. When they reached Diarbekir his mother succeeded in slipping out of the caravan, when it was driven further on. Two years she earned her living by working in different Turkish families, then she returned with George to Severek. After some months she died, and George stayed with his aunt two years, then he was sent with a caravan to Urfa. There a Turk got hold of him and eight years he served him. Newly an Armenian Chauffeur met with him and persuaded him to go to our rescue-home in Aleppo.
