Summary: "Four-Fifty Miles to Freedom" by Captain M. A. B. Johnston and Captain K. D. Yearsley is a memoir detailing the experiences of British officers during World War I, written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire, focusing on the struggle for survival and the quest for freedom after being taken prisoners of war. The book likely explores themes of camaraderie, resilience, and the harsh realities of captivity, with the main protagonists consisting of a group of officers united by their longing for freedom. The opening of the memoir introduces the prisoners' dire situation as they find themselves relocated to a new camp in Changri, after the recent escape of several fellow officers. The authors detail their daily lives under Turkish captivity, highlighting the discomforts and hardships faced, while also portraying their plans for escape. Through engaging anecdotes and descriptions of their interactions with Turkish guards, the narrative sets the stage for the trials that lie ahead, suggesting an underlying determination in the officers to devise a successful escape plan despite the odds stacked against them.
