Sample Text
[This handwritten memoir (2nd book) was written by Mehmed Asaf Saygun and the notes were kept with a fountain pen. Although the first two pages are damaged, the writings are readable. There are no missing pages. According to the note on the inner cover, this memoir was simplified from the memoir (1st book) whose outer covers were broken, and was re-written by the author after he was freed from Russian captivity and returned to his hometown Hendek. It is stated that the author named the memoir (1st book) "Captivity Memories and Adventures", whose outer covers were broken, and that the town of Vetluga, Volga, where the author lived in captivity for nearly three years. Since it is located on the banks of the Vetluga River, one of the branches of the river, it is understood that the author named his rewritten memoirs "On the Banks of the Volga (Captivity Memories and Adventures)" as a token of the memory of this river.]

the memories in his name; It contains the memories and adventures of some Turkish officers and Mehmet Asaf Bey, who were captured while fighting the Russians in various parts of the Caucasian front during the First World War, about their life in captivity in the town of Vetluga on the banks of the Vetluga River, one of the tributaries of the Volga River, for nearly three years.]
Note: The above quotes are taken from the foreword of Murat Cebecioğlu's work Mehmed Asaf on the Shores of the Volga and Memorandum, Memories and Adventures of Captivity, which he prepared for publication.
