Abstract

‘North Star’ is the USNS GNS, a warship heading from Korea to Turkiye. R.M. Blatchford (T-AP 153) is considered to have been written by the third troop of the Turkiye Brigade, the last to be deployed in the Korean War. Judging by the text, it is believed to be the final leg of the route to Turkiye through the Suez Canal, sailing around the eastern Mediterranean. The magazine was named 'North Star' (original: Şimal Yıldızı or Kutup Yıldızı) after the code name of the Turkiye Brigade. ‘North Star’ was a magazine published on board ships on long voyages and included amusing stories, uplifting short stories, poetry, patriotic sayings, humorous illustrations, and anecdotes from the return journey. This collection contains a significant portion of articles written by Huseyin Yakis, which looks back on the Korean War and contains an evaluation of the capabilities of Turkic soldiers and a pessimistic view of the national system.
