Letters from Baghdad altyazı (711488)

1
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,920
You've probably heard of Colonel
Lawrence and his wonderful exploits,

2
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,640
and indeed they were wonderful,
and are wonderful,

3
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,960
but I attribute much of the success
of his enterprises

4
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:22,680
to intelligence in which Ms Bell
had a very large hand.

5
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280
The only woman whom
the commander-in-chief

6
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,240
General Sir Stanley Maude
had allowed to come up to Baghdad.

7
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,840
A wonderful person.

8
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Not very like a woman, you know?

9
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Her work has in no sense
been exaggerated.

10
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,600
It was true, however, that,
at times, she came under suspicion.

11
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,320
I had known her first
in Constantinople,

12
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,040
where she'd arrived straight out
of the desert

13
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,800
with all the evening dresses,
the cutlery and napery

14
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,840
she insisted on taking with her
on her wanderings.

15
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
I have never wavered in my belief
that she came to her end

16
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,280
by her own deliberate act.

17
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,560
Baghdad, November the 28th, 1918.

18
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Dearest Father, I'm having by far

19
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,560
the most interesting time
of my life.

20
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,560
It doesn't happen often that people
are told that their future

21
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,160
as a state is in their hands,
and asked what they would like.
