Notes	Travel books, memoirs and diaries, which are considered the richest sources in terms of cultural history material, are among the mandatory resources of today's history researchers in researching the socio-cultural history of countries and societies, which are no less important than their political history. However, it is a fact that the identities of the owners of travelogues and diaries are as important as the authors of the primary source works used in political historiography. The issue regarding the approach to the records of foreign travelers becomes even more sensitive in the context of the Armenian issue, which became an important issue in the domestic and foreign policy of the Ottoman Empire, which hosted various religious and ethnic identities throughout the historical process. The political, cultural and religious situation of Christians, who constituted the majority of non-Muslim citizens in the Muslim Ottoman Empire, was important for their European co-religionists as the protectors of Christianity for centuries. XIX. The interest of foreign diplomats and travelers in the subject increased further due to the Armenian uprisings that took place towards the end of the century, mostly as a result of the provocation of foreign powers. In this article, data on the political, social and cultural situation of Armenians as Ottoman subjects are evaluated in the diaries and memoirs of captured British soldiers after the Battle of Kut al-Amara, which took place near Baghdad on April 29, 1916, in which the United Kingdom suffered one of the heaviest defeats in its history in the First World War. Charles Townshend's memoirs My Campaign, Barber's Besieged in Kut and After, Bishop's A Kut Prisoner, Sandes's In Kut and Captivity with the Sixth Indian Division, and Mousley's The Secrets of a Kuttite will constitute the main sources of the research.
