Description
Summary:This document consists of three and a half sheets of blue carbon copy, detailing a spy report by a Turkish officer, most likely First Lieutenant Sami Durak of the 5th troop. Measuring 27 x 20.5 cm (10.6 x 8 inches) for three sheets and 16 x 20.5 cm (6.3 x 8 inches) for the half sheet, the report is written in simple, colloquial Turkish and is addressed to an anonymous major. The report captures conversations among Turkish soldiers in Korea. The document exhibits signs of aging, including stains, foxing, soft folds, and a torn last sheet, but the text is likely complete. The author is referred to as "Sami" in the text, suggesting it is the same individual, Sami Durak, who authored the annotated GI slang dictionary.
