hi,

right answer, wrong question - ASKOLD was not a Ship of the Line, but, as you said, a cruiser.

Thanks, Osman!
After some "cosmetic work" I present you a map. What event is shown on it?

Best regards, Aleks

[Osman Levent]

Hi Aleks,
I believe this picture depicts where the British sub-marine B-11 torpedos and sinks the Ottoman Cruiser Mesudiye on 13.12.1914.

Here's a question;
What is "SONDERMISSION P." ?
Osman Levend

[Osman Levent]

It was the name given to the h/q unit of von der Goltz Paşa when he was in Baghdad whilst the letter "P" stood for "Persien"
A new one,
What was the name of the Group formed by several Russian Divisions which was to be commissioned as the 6. Army Corps by November, 1916 ? They were in operations attacking Turkish positions to the south west of Erzurum in order to attain Çapagcur (i.e. present day Bingöl) albeit in vain.

hi, Osman,

a hint in between ... before just giving the answer and putting forth a new question ... would have been ... nice ...

greetings, the pb

[Osman Levent]

Sorry Polar Bear, Mea Culpa
Will do so in the future.
Best Regards, Osman Levend

[Osman Levent]

Here's a hint to my question.
He was what Liakhov was to the 5th Army Corps.
Best regards, Osman Levend

[Osman Levent]

Obviously my latest quiz was a bit off the charts. The 6th Army Corps of the Russian Caucasian Army in operations in Eastern Turkey during First World War had initially been formed as the Vrobiev Group.

it s located in oberndorf at coast of neckar river. mauser firm has built it for turkish officers who buy mauser 1888 and further model rifles . but it was destroyed after war . the architecture is very similar to the yenidsche cigarette fabrik in dresden.

Anyone willing to help get this moving with a new question?

[Osman Levent]

You are right Marcus, this must continue. Here's a new one;
Why did Goeben and Breslau become part of the Ottoman Coast Guard instead of the Ottoman Navy ?
Osman Levend

[Marcus Wendel]

I think a hint is needed.
