A retired teacher wrote three books about her grandfather who served during the Battle of Gallipoli to keep his memory alive
A retired teacher has collected her grandfather’s stories that she heard from her mother into a memoir whose revenues she will donate to the families of fallen soldiers who fought in Canakkale.
Mihladiz, 62, grew up hearing Harmanda’s stories from her mother and grandmother. She too served her country as a teacher for 24 years, before serving as a columnist at a local paper for 10 years. Noting that her grandfather would not accept his pension as a war veteran, Mihladiz says she would like to be a granddaughter worthy of him, and says she will donate the revenues from her books.
According to Mihladiz, her family tree contains generations who have lived through World War I, the Battle of Gallipoli, and the Turkish War of Independence.Mihladiz says that her mother used to sing the folk song “Canakkale Turkusu”, a song about men who went to war and did not come back, and cry. When she asked her why, her mother told Mihladiz that “Your grandfather used to sing this song and weep.
