Turkish Prision Camps

ADANA (SEYHAN): The Turks incarcerated British prisoners of war in Adana, a city located in the Vilayet of Adana in Asia Minor. Adana was located in southern Anatolia on the left bank of the Seyhan River, thirty miles north of the river's discharge into the Mediterranean Sea, south of the Tarsus (Toros) Mountains. The city also lay on the Constantinople to Baghdad Railway line. British and Indian prisoners from Kut-al-Amara and Australian POW's from Gallipoli spent their captivity in Adana.
