Tosun,my friend,

Thank you again for these photos and details.

I was wondering if you or other could give when this oficer moved around these units, dates he served in them?

1st Caucasus Corps Caucasus
Yusuf Izzet Pasa (Met) - Kazim Pasa (Karabekir)
10th Corps (3rd Army 1914) Erzincan
Ziya Pasa (Kutnak) 8-14 to 12-14 - Col Hafiz Hakki Bey 12-14 to 1-15 - Yusuf Izzet Pasa (Met)
2 Cav Div 3rd Army- Feb 1916 Caucasus 2nd Cavalry Divison
Col Yusuf Izzet Bey (Met) - LtCol Esat Bey - LtCol Cemil Bey
1st Caucasus Division
Yusuf Izzet Pasa (Met)

From what I can gather so far he was in these formations at these dates?

2 Cav Div Col Yusuf Izzet Bey (Met) 1914 to jan 1915

10 Corps - Yusuf Izzet Pasa (Met) Jan 1915 to Nov 1916?

1st Caucasus Corps - Yusuf Izzet Pasa (Met) Nov 1916 to ?

1st Caucasus Division Yusuf Izzet Pasa (Met) dates unknown?

After the disaster at Sarıkamış Enver Pasha left the 3rd army to Hafız Hakkı Pasha commander of 10th AC. For that reason Met Pasha was made C of 10th AC.

Tosun, my friend.

Thank you again.

Can you confirm these details you gave?

"1918 Staff Col Kazık Kaarabekir (Ltgen) took the command of 2nd Caucasus AC"

My details place him as commander 1st Caucasus Corps from Yusuf İzzet in 1918?

The 2nd Caucasus Corps commanders as;

Fevzi Pasa (Çakmak) - and

Yakup Sevki Pasa (Subasi)

do we have dates for these commanders?

Cheers

Sorry for the typing mistake not Kazık Kaarabekir but Kazım Karabekir
"1918 Staff Col Kazık Kaarabekir (Ltgen) took the command of 2nd Caucasus AC" is wrong

Görgülü " On Yıllık Harbin Kadrosu (Personal of Ten Years long War p.122,123
Col Kazım Karabekir took the command of 2nd AC on April 4th 1917

Görgülü p.124
Col Kazım Karabekir C of 1st Caucasus AC during Jan, Feb, March, April, May, June, July, August, September 1918 :n Oct. 30th 1918 the 1st Caucasus AC has abolished.
Not: On the day when Mustafa Kemal Pasha landed on Samsun on May 19th 1919 Brigadier Kazım Karabekir was C of 15th AC at Erzurum. When Mustafa Kemal come to Erzurum to gather a national Congress Kazım Pasha joined his command without hesitation.

Tosun,

Sorry my freind I missed his service in the 18th Corps? can you explane the commanders of the 18th Corps?

7th Infantry Div -
Col Halil Bey (Kut) 1915 to

18th Corps -
Col Mehmet Ali Bey -
Col Halil Bey (Kut) - Nov 1915? to Aril 1916
Col Kazim Bey -
Col Sevket Bey -
Col Cafer Tayyar Bey

6th Army-
Nurettin Pasha 6-15 to 12-15 -
Kolmar Freiherr von der Goltz (G) 12-15 died April 1916 -
Halil Pasa (Kut) 4-16 -
Ali Ihsan Pasha 6-18 to 11-18

Eastern Army Group Caucasus 9th Army & 1st Cau Corps
Halil Pasha (Kut) 6-18 to 11-18


What I found interesting is how Col Kazim Karabekir Bey followed Halil Pasa around the units of the Turkish Army.

first in the 7th Div and later to the 18th Corps to 1st CauC Corps

What I found confussing his hie service early in the war as I show a Kazim Bey as commander

7th Div -
Col Ahmet Remzi Bey 1915 -
Col Halil Bey (Kut) -
Col Kazim Bey - LtCol Nasuhi Bey

11th Div, and
Col Rafet Bey (1915) -
LtCol Abdürrezzak Bey 9-15 -
Col Refet Bey -
LtCol Kazim Bey -
LtCol Hasan Mümtaz Bey

14th Div -
LtCol Kazim Bey -
Col Ali Fuat Bey -
LtCol von Schraudenbach (G) -
LtCol Ismail Hakki Bey

Many thanks again.
