Remarkable British Prisoners Feigning Madness for Freedom
The Daily Chronicle details how British officers Lord Hill and James Jones, held in a Turkish camp, feigned insanity to avoid exchange deals. Their ruse was nearly uncovered, but a long, disciplined act of melancholy and Bible study helped them maintain the ruse for seven months, earning release with other captured men aboard a Red Cross vessel. The account praises their strategic restraint, the coercive hospital setting, and the broader context of wartime prisoner exchanges.
