Bing Basha and officers at Hadjin
Description:Back of photograph reads: "The Bing Basha (the one holding the field glasses) and his officers who with his troops came to the rescue of Hadjin during the massacre this spring. This was taken up at Serpsarkis where our Boys' vineyard is and still you see the higher mountains rising up in the back-ground. Now these are well covered with snow although we have much less than usual they say. We have no Bing Basha here now any more. D.B." This photo is the same as the one on facing page 79 in Lambert's book "Hadjin and the Armenian massacres." Click to see large image
