Inter-Allied Commission of Enquiry into Atrocities in Yalova and Guemlek
A short but striking 1921 investigative report, this work records what an international commission found after visiting villages around Yalova and Gemlik during the Greco-Turkish War. Its value lies in its eyewitness mission, official framing, and the glimpse it gives into how atrocities were documented in real time.

Reports on atrocities in the districts of Yalova and Guemlek and in the Ismid Peninsula : Presented to Parliament by command of His Majesty
by Inter-Allied Commission of Enquiry into Atrocities in Yalova and Guemlek
About the author
This was not an individual author but an international fact-finding body. Contemporary catalog records and digital editions identify the work as Reports on Atrocities in the Districts of Yalova and Guemlek and in the Ismid Peninsula, published in London by His Majesty’s Stationery Office in 1921 and presented to the British Parliament.
The commission was tasked with investigating reported violence against the Turkish population in the Yalova and Gemlik region. The report itself describes the members traveling from Constantinople in May 1921, visiting affected districts, interviewing witnesses, and recording conditions on the ground.
Because this is a collective institutional author rather than a single person, there is no standard personal biography or official portrait to use here. What makes the work notable is its documentary character: it preserves a formal, on-the-spot inquiry into atrocities during a turbulent phase of the Greco-Turkish War.
