Primary Source XXXI: "I want YOU for the Cypriot Mule Corps!" 1:11

1M ago1:11

1:11

For this month's primary source, I've taken some liberty with its recording, turning this very real enlistment ad into a radio spot. However, historically speaking, there was no radio service at the time -- and so this certainly would not have been broadcast in Cyprus. Given the widespread illiteracy at the time, enlistment campaigns such as the on…

According to late Ottoman historian, Ronald C.
