EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of General Digenis' imprisonment following the Greek surrender to Turkish forces during the Greco-Turkish War in 1922. The image shows the General being led away by Turkish soldiers through the gates of Ala Sehir Prison (also known as Chehir Prison) in Ankara, Turkey. Digenis, a prominent Greek military leader, had played a significant role in the Greek campaign to reclaim Smyrna (Izmir) from Turkish control. However, the Greek forces were ultimately defeated, and Digenis was captured during the Battle of Karaja Hisar on August 1922. The scene is filled with a sense of tension and uncertainty, as a large crowd of onlookers and soldiers observe the General's capture. Digenis would be released during an exchange of prisoners in 1923, but this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the historical events that transpired during this tumultuous period in Greek and Turkish history." This photograph is a poignant and historical record of the Greco-Turkish War, which lasted from 1919 to 1922. The conflict arose from the disagreements between the Greek and Turkish populations over the territorial boundaries and the treatment of minority groups in the region. The war resulted in the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey, with millions of Greeks leaving Turkey and Turks leaving Greece. This photograph captures a significant moment in the conflict, as General Digenis, a key Greek military leader, is led away to imprisonment following the Greek surrender to Turkish forces. The image is filled with a sense of tension and uncertainty, as a large crowd of onlookers and soldiers observe the scene. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical events that transpired during this period, and serves as an important record of the Greco-Turkish War and its impact on the region.
