Very interesting that Mustafa Kemal has been in Abha / Asir, because I haven´t read his name
in this book: The Idrisi state in 'Asir, 1906-1934 http://www.smi.uib.no/publ/bang-c.html

It´s a very nice map and a clear list of the vilãjeti´s (provinces) Yemen and Hedjaz ; Thanks’

Which are here for someone who can not read Arabic so well in Turkish language:

Maybe the German artist mixed some details on this nice old post card?
The S.M.S. AYESHA have been scuttled by the crew 5.000 km away from Hodeida, westwards of Sumatra
on 16.12.1914. Kapitänleutnant H. von Mücke and the landing party achieved Hodeida on the small steam
ship S.S. CHOISING and I think the Askaris from German East Africa near the landin pier are misplaced.
