Lieutenant Elias Henry Jones (1883 - 22 December 1942) was a Welsh officer in the Indian Army who, together with Australian C. W. Hill, escaped from the Yozgad prisoner of war camp in Turkey during World War I. Their epic story was told in the book The Road to En-dor.
Between February 1917 and October 1918, Jones and Hill convinced their Turkish captors that they were mediums adept at the Ouija board. Eventually they secured their repatriation to Britain by faking insanity. Ironically, they arrived home only a few months before their brother officers were released from Yozgad.
A film adaptation of The Road to En-dor is in development, written by Neil Gaiman and Penn Jillette, and produced by E. H. Jones's granddaughter Hilary Bevan Jones.[1]
