Ataturk and General Harrington
Kemal Pasa (Ataturk) and General Harrington (commanding the British troops) - compromising on neutral ground in 1923. A very interesting photograph as it shows a Turkish delegation approaching an official meeting with a gift of flowers, which is a psychological trick used in this instance to prove to the British that everything is fine on the Turkish side as they even have time to grow (and pick!) flowers
