E. H. Jones

E. H. Jones

Lieutenant Elias Henry Jones (died 22 December1942) was a Welsh officer in the Indian Army who, together with Australian C. W. Hill, escaped from the Yozgad prisoner of war camp in Turkey during World War I. His epic account was told in "The Road to En-dor"

Between February 1917 and October 1918, Jones and Hill convinced their Turkish captor that they were mediums adept at the Ouija board, eventually leading to their being repatriated to Britain by faking madness. Ironically, they arrived home only a few months before their brother officers were released from Yozgad.
