Joe The Turk


Teutonic Knight

Recommended Posts

So I was searching for images on Google and I accidentally found this:

"Joe the Turk" is a legend from The Salvation Army's colorful past. He was an Armenian, born Nishan Der Garabedian, in 1860 in Tallas, Turkey, the son of a priest of the American Episcopal Church, the National church of the Armenian people.

Never knew about this interesting individual, it's quite ironic yet genious that he used the "turk" as his gimmick.
