Thora Ray talk to the Levantine Heritage Foundation - A Millwright's Tale, 27 Jan 2016

Thora Ray giving a talk to the Levantine Heritage Foundation 'A Millwright's Tale; Life in Menemen during WW1', based on the diaries of Spencer Whiteman kept between 1915-19. Spencer Whiteman was Ms Ray's maternal great-grandfather who owned a cotton mill in Menemen, Western Turkey. This factory was occupied by the Turkish army in 1915 and he was held there as an enemy alien. The diary was kept so that his children would know what happened to him.
