Dear Loïc,
This is the Standard of the 61st Infantry Division in a much stylized form. This unit was formed and commissioned as a training division on 22.10.17 at İzmir. Although it did not see any action during First World War; the Division was reinforced and brought up to fighting standard by the Nationalist Government of Ankara in September 1919, during the first months of the War of Independence. From this date on; they were to be one of the main forces fighting against the Greek Army in operations to the south of Marmara Sea. Depleted twice to almost company level; they were to take peace time positions at Çorlu, following the War. Note the unusual headgear of the Standard Bearer. They are typical Aegean head wrap used during the War of Independence since the Turkish Army did not have enough helmets nor uniforms for every soldier on the front.
Best Regards, Osman Levend
