Notes: In his Foreword, Galsworthy considers the fusion of diary and novel in the narrative of this work to render a 'totally new form' - conveyed in roman letters and italic respectively, they provide an effective means of moving between timeframes, as the author recounts his experience as a prisoner of the Russians in Turkestan during the Great War.
