In 1864 he left this business learned the classical languages of the Mediterranean - it is told that he learned Turkish during a three week long visitit in Constantinople. He became a pioneer in the field of archaeology. He was an advocate of the historicity of places mentioned in the works of Homer and an archaeological excavator of Hisarlik, now presumed to be the site of Troy, along with the Mycenaean sites Mycenae and Tiryns. His work lent weight to the idea that Homer's Iliad reflects historical events.

This was changed with harsh British counter-measures including a scorched earth policy and with survivors being forced into concentration camps. Very large proportions of these civilians died of hunger and disease, especially the children. Prisoner of Wars were brought to camps outside the theatre of war, for example in St. Helena and Bermuda.
