Excerpt from With the Conquering Turk: Confessions of a Bashibazouk
On the Turkish side of the frontier, and exchange the squat, flat faced Servian for the long-limbed, big featured Turk. Sharp nosed, bold eyed, bushy browed, a little heavy in the mouth and cheek, slouching a little in his walk, a little slow in movement, but always powerful in build and masterful in bearing - he is the stuff which either heroes or devils might be made of. But he is primarily and beyond all mis taking a man.
