LIGHT from the British Ottoman Prisoner Camp in Egypt to the Past, Present, and Tomorrow (1919-1920)

One of the camps in Egypt, where the soldiers of the Ottoman Army, who fought on the fronts of the First World War, and the soldiers who were taken prisoner by the British, were kept, is the "Tura Prisoner Camp" near Cairo. The war ended in 1919, but the captives could not be released yet.
In the camp, the captive Turkish officers, who are not detached from the world, publish a handwritten newspaper in order to protect their resistance, to make evaluations to prepare today for tomorrow, to keep the struggle for freedom and patriotism mentally, even though they are in captivity financially: LIGHT!
To live is to build tomorrow today, not yesterday. Those in the camp are also conscious of this. “It should not be forgotten that people who look at the ukba rather than the world; They neglect their welfare between the cradle and the grave.” The intact bodies of those found in Tura are the most valuable gift for "the homeland whose cemeteries have increased and its vigor has decreased". "Life; It is not just a heavy ordeal that ends in death, as we understand it.” Turkish soldiers living in captivity, the Turkish Nation "If it was defeated in China, it was defeated in India. If he left Turan, he entered Iran. If it sank in Persia, it came out in Byzantium." they know the truth. They have to create a happy tomorrow out of a great disaster.
To be defeated is not to die. Those who are imprisoned behind the fence in Tura are the life of tomorrow. Them; “They are the lights of a poor land.” They cannot waste their time in captivity in vain, they cannot laugh and have fun. “A generation that does not think about tomorrow in every minute that interferes with the past; It is not capable of standing up cross-legged beings.”
LIGHT; “Phoenix” reborn after a century from the ashes of captivity…
