I am confused about Mehmet Ali Bey. There are 3 of them.
Col Halil Bey C of composed (18th) AC during right wing battles in 1915 at East Front (Görgülü p 115
1- Col Mehmet Ali Bey was C of 28th Div. under command of 18th.Görgülü gives a deep note that this M.Ali is KIA at Irak front on Nov. 30th (Görgülü p. 115

2- Col Mehmet Ali Bey C of 18th AC KIA with other officers Maj. Sadık Bey and Mahmud Hamdi Bey Staff officers of 45th Div and at Irak Front in Nov 30th 1915 at Delabiha while he was commanding the 18th AC. Col Halil Bey was made C of 18th AC after Mehmet Ali Bey. (Görgülü: p.164

3- Col. Mehmet Ali Bey C of 51st Div. at Irak front. Görgülü says in his deep note " The 1st Expeditory Force arrived to Irak front in Nov 21st 1915 from Hasankale Caucasus Front. I understand that the number one Col Mehmet Ali bey C of 28th is the one who fell at Delabia on Now. 30th. G:p.163.
