Construction of the Sinope-Kastamuni Road in Turkey

Notes:

View of the Sinope-Kastamuni Road, a project constructed by Allied POW labor, probably from the prison camp at Kastamuni. Although slow and accident prone (in other words, skilled practitioners of sabotage), the Turks preferred Allied prisoner labor for their road and railroad construction projects.
